I am so sick of congress and politicians! I am just so sick of them all! They are at war with the American people! They are at war with Liberty! They are at war with Freedom! I spit on them all! I spit on them!! Does this sound harsh?? Oh well! They just voted to ban our light bulbs and voted to put us all in little 4 cylinder lawnmowers and God knows what else and why??? Why?? Why!!!??? What else will they ban and mandate??? Why not ban candles!! Why not ban fireplaces!! I am so mad I want to swear!!! Every free thinking American ought to be mad at these stinking pigs!!! We are being surrounded by Fascists that want to blow up our cities and chop the heads off our children and what does our glorious brilliant congress do??! They cut our war budget open our borders try to get Rush fired and ban light bulbs!!!! Ronald Reagan said the Soviet Union was the focus of evil in the modern world! No more!! That era has passed! Today the focus of evil in the modern world is the United States Congress!! More specifically, the Democrat party, aided by traitors calling themselves Republicans that are not worthy of the name!! They are not worthy of that great name!!! I am tired and I am going to bed!! Before I do, I am going out and buy a case of bulbs!!
thanks, bfl
How am I supposed to grow my pot now? Those swirly things don’t work worth a damn as grow lights...
Will someone explain to me just why we are paying these idiots to waste their time on this kind of asinine stupidity?
Or why Bush is signing these silly things?
Or why an American law is ceremoniously transported a couple blocks in a Japanese made car?
Ye GADS!!! Sometimes I just want to just give up and go get drunk.
Anyone know the shelf life on regular light bulbs????
A Pious hybrid. Everything about this bill is a joke.
(cogitator, of course, is pleased that this thing became law.)
Fluorescent light bulbs flicker dim-bright-dim-bright with the 60 cycles/sec current. Your brain reads your eye input some 40 times/sec(like a movie). Thus in sync/out of sync beat frequencies that give people extreme headaches in “sick buildings”, even though you don’t notice the fluctuations the brain does, constantly trying to adjust to dim-bright-dim-bright. Strike One.
These fluorescent bulbs LOOK white but are narrow spectrum frequencies, harsh like digital recordings vs warmer/fuzzier analog recordings. The incandescent bulb puts out the whole range of spectrum frequencies even though the efficiency is lower, that’s why it seems warmer/friendlier/cuddlier. Strike Two.
The cost of these fl. bulbs is much higher + disposal costs = the mfgrs/lobbyists who pushed this turkey on us lick their chops(pavlovian drooling)at the thought of the MONEY they’re going to make on this law. Strike Three.
One possibility is LEDs but hey, let the marketplace work, mandating HDTVs or these fl. lights is creeping socialism by lawyers in congress who have no business micro-managing commerce, 3 strikes and you’re out...KLUTZES...
