At least the rats won't ingest trans fats or too much salt eating your garbage.

We are good here. I use cans, double bag most of it. Stay on top of it on this end. The Sanitation Police Fines go up the more you get. It is a Progressive type of fine you would want to avoid.

Screw all that. I dump it all into the trash can provided by the company that picks it up. Either in a bag or loose. And we have a choice to recycle with a little bin we can put out at the curb, go to the village recycle site or just toss the shit out. If they start any more than that I'll pack it up and move further into the country and burn the shit every couple of days.

Fact is I actually do take most plastics and the newspapers over to the recycle center every other week or so. But not all.

Some people will always miss the point. It's just willful ignorance on their part. The point is,buy whatever light bulbs you want. Government has no business forcing Citizens to buy anything. "Phasing Out" light bulbs is just the Government forcing their Global Warming agenda on the People. Also,these new bulbs are very dangerous. Freedom & Liberty trumps Global Warming for me. I just hope more people stand up and agree with me on this.

Texas Insider Report: Washington, D.C. – Reps. Joe Barton, R-Texas, Michael Burgess, R-Texas, and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, joined 12 other Republicans to reintroduced the Better Use of Light Bulbs Act or BULB Act, H.R. 91. The BULB Act repeals Subtitle B of Title III of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which is a de facto ban on the incandescent light bulb. “This is about more than just energy consumption, it is about personal freedom. Voters sent us a message in November that it is time for politicians and activists in Washington to stop interfering in their lives and manipulating the free market. The light bulb ban is the perfect symbol of that frustration. People don’t want congress dictating what light fixtures they can use,” said Rep. Barton. “Traditional incandescent bulbs are cheap and reliable. Alternatives, including the most common replacement Compact Fluorescent Lights or CFL’s, are more expensive and health hazards - so why force them on the American people? From the health insurance you’re allowed to have, to the car you can drive, to the light bulbs you can buy, Washington is making too many decisions that are better left to you and your family.” “Thousands of American jobs have been shipped overseas as a direct consequence of this light bulb provision in the Democrats’ 2007 energy bill,” Burgess said. “I have stated all along that exposing our citizens to the harmful effects of the mercury contained in CFL light bulbs, which are being manufactured in China, is likely to pose a hazard for years to come. Not only would this bill be better for the environment, but it would be one step to bringing jobs back to America.” “These are the kinds of regulations that make the American people roll their eyes. It is typical of a ‘big Washington’ solution to a non-existent problem. In this case it manifests itself as an overreach into every American home, one that ships good jobs overseas and infuriates the American consumer,” added Rep. Blackburn.

I don't believe in the seat belt law. I wear them because I believe in seat belts, but I don't believe in mandating it.

I agree that having the govt mandate stuff for our and the countries own good is very sucky.
However the reality is that if it were not done things would be lots worse than they are now.
Would you like a pig farm next to your house?
Thanks to Zoning for that. Which I basically hate butr realize it has some uses.
People are just too stupit to do what is best for our country and so are corporations. They fought seatbelts and airbags tooth and nail but when forced they proclaimed it their idea and how they would save lives, their cars were safer, etc.

 

[uscitizen]

I don't believe in the seat belt law. I wear them because I believe in seat belts, but I don't believe in mandating it.

I agree, but they do save lives so I wear them.
I almost quit wearing them way back when they became mandated. But decided why cut off my nose to spite my face?

would you quit using a computer if it became mandatory? Or not get a cell phone if the govt told you you had to?

Because the power companies lobbied them to so they did not have to spend money upgrading their distribution netowrk and add power plants?

to reduce mercury polloution form coal fired power plants?

I dunno for sure but it does make sense to stop using them.

Heck even in my drop light in my auto workshop I used the CFL's they last even when you drop the drop light. unlike incandescent which I have gone thru 4 on a bad say in the shop.

That is a false assumption. You are confused. How do you compare Mandated Cancer Bulbs to seat belts to coal furnaces? What is up with that? What is the wattage on your plasma TV? Your hot tub? Have you ever stopped to ask what is behind CFL bulbs? Follow the money.

I don't believe in the seat belt law. I wear them because I believe in seat belts, but I don't believe in mandating it.

Something you may want to consider about seat belts. If you are not wearing one when the air bag deploys, it can kill or do serious harm. I'd recommend wearing one for that reason all by itself.
