Snot running down his nose ........ (while stuffing his closet with bulbs)... You must admit, this hoarding of LIGHT BULBS, is a little nutty. How many 8 tracks do you have, Beta max tapes, dial telephones, tube type B&W TVs, wringer washing machines. Does your car have a “crank” sticking out the front? Does the “ice man” still bring ice for your ice box?

Your examples refer to improvements.

Perhaps you haven't noticed, as you are so caught up in laughing, but fluorescents are not an improvement over incandescents. So you see, every one of your examples is completely wrong. Perhaps you should wipe the snot from your nose, and reflect on the deeper issue of a socialist scientific fraud being perpetuated across a civilization in order to deny it functional technology and erect a regulatory apparatus designed to completely eradicate small business.

So you see, the issue is rather important, and the 100 watt bulbs are in fact a very decisive abuse point being used byt the government to impact millions of lives is an utterly useless way - except for its humiliation training.

Of course, these are subtleties far beyond your high school level of smiling insults, and brazenly false denials of intentional contempt. But hey, don't be mad, this is only meant in a spirit of pointed rebuttal.

‘fluorescents are not an improvement over incandescents.”

I beg to differ. See my Comment #70. I think the thousands of dollars I have saved are a big improvement, and I have not found the light itself of CFLs to be much of a problem. They now have several tints of light, and the price is often under $2.
