I really like the new bulbs... but I am aghast at the number of fools who don't see that allowing government to mandate the purchase of certain products is a huge problem.

...agreed. Also, wasn't it the next state over that banned trans-fats from restaurants? No smoking. No driving while on a cell phone. It's all for our own good. ~sarc

I like the new bulbs too; however, only the minis, equivalent to 60 watts, can fit in my overhead fixtures. The non-minis, equivalent to 75W and 100W, are too big for my lamps and fixtures.

Not to ruin a really good rant against overbearing government, but the bill:

"...calls for the state to switch to fluorescent lighting in GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS over the next three years."

Presumably one of the things the government **should** be doing is ensuring it is spending the taxpayers' money in an efficient and responsible manner, yes?
