It's the Socialist way - force everyone to comply. They don't recognize the FREE Market system, aka Capitalism.

Freedom of choice, if left to operate, will take care of the problem without making criminals of the non-compliers...or having one more government intrusion into every room in our house.

A few years ago, these new bulbs were cost-inhibitive - around $8 per. AS more and more people have bought them, the price has come down to a reasonable level and more and more are switching.

I hate the ugly look of the things but have them throughout my house - on a fixed income, I need to save every penny I can. MY CHOICE.

The price will continue to fall, left to the FREE market system. Make a law, per the Socialist system, and the price will be anything the producers want -

For example: The FREE market system is working, slowly but picking up steam, with the distribution of organic foods - witness the larger and larger sections for organic goods and products in the super-super markets. Are they doing it because they are concerned about our health?

He*l no. They are doing it to stop the money-bleed from their stores as more and more consumers are going organic. Are the majority of consumers switching to organics to save the world? He*l no. They are doing it for their health.

It called FREEDOM of choice - and it drives the FREE market place.

This proposed law is just one more drip=drip-drip erosion of our individual rights. These are the people who passed the water restrictions on our toilets, for example. So now people have to flush twice to do the job. Yeah, that works well.

An aside: The sponsor of this 'lightbulb' act, Lloyd Levine, democrat (that was a given, huh?) also sponsored the "K-12 Pro-Homosexual School Act"
