Snip: Also new research has come to light that indicates that CFLs emit a high humming sound that is not in our range of hearing but is in the range of hearing of cats and dogs. Can you image hearing a high pitched humming sound all day long. It would be enough to drive you nuts! Many pet owners report that their cats or dogs do not want to be in rooms with CFL bulbs on and will become anxious if they are forced to be.
We The People must DEMAND the light bulb Gestapo in DC be stopped! The new Republican majority in the House and Senate must repeal this insanity.
We must DEMAND that the Republicans get Big Brother out of our light bulbs, out of our health care, out of what cars we buy, out of our plastic bags, and out of our lives and out of our businesses.

[Thanks, MamaDearest.]
For a brief time I had the CFL bulbs in our master bathroom. (eight of them in a light bar over the mirrors) Our dogs and kitty avoided that room like the plague. (Maybe not such a bad thing....at least it kept the shedding down in there) I hated the light from them, it made me look even older than I am. I’m making a run to town tomorrow to buy all the incandescents I can find. I refuse to use the CFLs.
I’m stocking up on incandescent light bulbs!
