Dr. Pezzi provided a good explanation of what mercury does to the mind. His discussion of what mercury did to Michael Faraday, one of the most brilliant and productive scientists in history, was particularly fascinating. If it can destroy the mind of such a scientific genius, it can affect the brainpower of anyone.

I wish people would quit over-using ‘sheeple’. It lost all impact a decade ago and just looks cultish.

All along I thought it was lousy leftist teachers protected by a thuggish Union...Silly me.

[mnehring]

BTW, you post a lot of articles by this “Kevin Pezzi” guy’s blog. Anything you wish to disclose?

I’ll take a fluoride and soda with a basket of deep fried curly fluorescents, please.

LOL, have you read the author's bio...

..He wrote several books and developed numerous web sites, the most recent of which give Internet users free ways to date online, develop better online profiles, combat spam, track information they want to follow, create keyword lists by dragging and dropping, and balance braces, parentheses, brackets, and tags in their computer code...

LOL, this 'MD' seems to teach internet spamming.. I'm surprised I don't see any books there on 'Direct Marketing' job opportunities (ie MLM).

The amount of mercury in these lights is nothing compared to the hundreds of tons that were used in dental fillings for generations.

In broadest terms politicians know as much about real issues as actors do, in fact they are actors and both equally are whores for money who have no principles.

This is as much CRAP SCIENCE as Global Warming yet because it seems to fit “our” agenda to jump on the anti-CFL bandwagon some are willing to forgo common sense and doing their own unbiased objective evaluation of the facts.

This author rails against the evils of mercury without once pointing out that the amount of mercury in a CFL is about 5 milligrams - an amount equal to the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

And if you don’t break it, not one atom of that evil nasty mercury ever comes into your house.

I love Mark Steyn’s term “yogurt-coated curly fries” and don’t like the Gummint mandating which lighting technology we should have the right to choose But I like and use CFLs and fluorescent tubes for their merits and use common sense when handling them.

I also hate “sheeple” but sticking with it for this post - is a person any less of a “sheeple” for blindly following these Mercury Crap-Scientists?

I think it would be really awesome to dump about 3,000 Alka Seltzer tablets into the Mecom Fountain in Houston.

All at once, of course.

It wasn’t evil mercury
that caused your mind to rot.
You’re free to curse the conspiracy
now that you got the zot.

[Arrowhead1952]

Fluorescent and compact fluorescent bulbs can reduce intelligence, . . and otherwise damage your life

Yup, looks like you were exposed to a few too many.
