> I hope this is it, I hate those little squiggly bulbs!

While I use the “little squiggly bulbs” and LEDs where ever I can, I your right to use incandescent, halogen, Aladdin lamps, or torches if you so please.

Neither will I puff myself up with any false piety over those who don’t use CFLs. and LEDs. I use them because I’m cheap, and they have been garnering for me some consistent, long-term savings.

It’s not the gummint’s business how I light my home.

In fact, nothing I do short of damaging another person’s right to life, liberty, or property is the gummint’s business.

The world is basically made up of two kinds of people.

Those who want to be left alone, and the meddling busybodies who won’t leave us alone.

I've installed a cfl in the same light fixture with a new incandescent bulb more than once and had the same result: The expensive little cfl went out first.

You may like them and use them, but please be careful with the mercury.

Those “long term energy bill savings” will vaporize in the next year or so. Do you honestly think power companies will be content with reduced income?
