Pack them carefully and send them to Congress

Won't I get into trouble for shipping dangerous substances through the mail??

This is just a general observation, but it occurs to me that conservatives will be the ones to actually give a damn about this stuff.

The worst possible examples of recyclers have been political liberals ~ at least from what I have experienced. I've worked in several offices over the course of my career and have requested the responsibility of taking care of recycling and general environmental maintenance. This I would offer to do on my own and with my own time and resources.

It was discouraged by my lib bosses and often never implemented.

>>”...have to buy my filament light bulbs from Canada on E-Bay.”<<

Walmart still sells them, for now anyway. We bought a case of 100W & 75W.

If they break you have to leave the room for at least an hour and only use cardbord to clean it

Changing the subject, I wanted to post a prayer chain for my brother, poster “Waco”....if you can pass the word I would appreciate it. He was just taken to the hospital by ambulance a little while ago. Thanks!

“And it’s not just ‘rats we have to watch, our “own” are just as determined to stab us in the back and attack our rights and liberty, ie”

Rep. Mark Kirk [R-IL]
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [R-FL]
Rep. Michael Ferguson [R-NJ]
Rep. Christopher Shays [R-CT]
Rep. Michael Castle [R-DE]

“Rep. Mark Kirk has introduced a bill, H.R. 6257: Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2008, which would “To reinstate the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act.” The other four are co-sponsors.”

Plus this: from the Change.gov website

“Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.”

I guess we all know where this is going.....

I haven’t had to change one yet, but the thought occurs to me; what will I do with the old ones [CFLs] when that time eventually comes?Pack them carefully and send them to Congress. They pushed for them so it follows they must know what to do with them. I certainly have a suggestion ...

Imagine a few years hence when the environmental police break down your door at 2 am looking for incandescent light bulbs, and non water saving toilets or when organized crime is bootlegging cigarettes, salt, foi gras and transfat cooking oils. Not even Orwell could have imagined that.

No, they have learned it is easier to rule by fiat, than follow the rules.
