Time for a little eco-terrorism of our own. Go to a town hall meeting and drop a few of these CFL’s and make sure to call 911 and a HAZMAT response team. Also make sure that the HAZMAT response team checks everybody for mercury vapor inhalation. Now do it at the City Counsel meet, next the County Commissioners meeting. Heck, find the next “eco-day” meeting and drop a few dozen. After a while the politicians may get the idea that CFL’s are more dangerous than incandescent bulbs.
I am not even concerned about the mercury, the slowness to reach peak illumination or the confusion one must go through to find a light that has an attractive luminance.
It is the statist intrusion I find most disturbing!
