Anybody stocking up on light bulbs?

[martybegan]

I would have much preferred it if Bush had delivered on his small government rhetoric and not signed into law the big government mandates that have now halted the manufacture of incandescent light bulbs, but there's a lot our government does I'm not crazy about.

Regardless, stocking up on bulbs just seems like nothing more than pushing off the inevitable to me, so I'm not going to bother.

How about you?

as soon as they come off the shelves there will be a black market for them. not to worry

Just like Betamax VCRs

Nobody wanted Betamax, people want incandescents.

It would be amusing to see Moonglow's parade of hypocrisy, if it weren't so pathetic.

Would you like to pay for the 100 miles I would have to drive to dispose of these items?

Get in your climate friendly Volt and do it.

You don't get to elect these wackos that make these rules for us to abide by and somehow decide you get a pass.

You are such an idiot. I'm sure your neighbors appreciate the way you are poisoning the ground water supply with mercury.

3 bulbs in 5 years, that must be a great deal of mercury. The water supply her is methane gas, sulfur and black shale. It's not worth drinking and is not potable in many areas. That is why there is a water line for people to connect to.
But as you repubs say, fuck the govt. regs.

But surely you are violating not only local waste management laws, but federal waste management laws. Did you request a variance from whichever agency has standing with regards to the water resources in your area? Are the proper permits for disposing of scheduled wastes displayed at the front of your property? Have you kept the records required detailing the method of disposal, where the items came from, and thier eventual fate? Is the proper monitoring program in place near the disposal area?

Are all your neighbors aware, under Right to Know laws, that you are disposing of controlled wastes on your property? did you post the RTK paperwork where i can be seen?

Libertarians don't say "fuck the government" what we say is the government has way to much control over certain things. Progressive such as yourself LOVE passing laws and regulations and other rules to control people's lives. It is a shining example of hypocrcy when you dont follow the rules you wanted out of sheer lazyness, or worse, a sense of noblise oblige, i.e. rules are only for the pesants.

I have never backed nor passed any laws, so you might need to get you abilities to slander someone in a better state.
This county did not even have a waste disposal guidelines until 2005. I am grandfathered in to not have to follow certain rules on waste management. I use a cesspool also, but don't worry everything is away from the well and down hill.

The porn industry picked VHS ... And that pretty much put the nail in the Betamax coffin.
People like to think they have more influence than they actually do ... Business is business.

So everyone else has to follow the rules, except of course, you.

Do as I say, not as I do, the Progressive statist mantra.

A question, do you think others should have to follow proper waste disposal procedures?

And GE(China) picked CFLs, and the idiot Bush and the rest of the progressives in both parties were more than happy to oblige. It was one of those laws so wonderful and with so much public support it was signed while no one was looking.

Light bulbs and cake frosting oh ya and money and guns.

What a stupid comparison. The lamps and light fixtures that use incandescent bulbs are not suddenly obsolete.

Nor were Betamax VCRs banned by the government.

Sorry old bean, but I am not a progressive either. I will let you in on my philosophy. When big business and the got. follow their own rules. I might also.
And again. There is no hazardous waste disposal sites in my area.
The local city dredges the creeks and riverbeds without permits from the Natural Resources Dept. They are all repubs. So again tell me how it is one liberal(old meaning) is a progressive and the rwer's that do the same are not?

Hey cocksmooch,

There is no fucking valid defense for dumping mercury in the ground... anywhere.

Now go fuck a light socket you hypocritical ****.

Tu Quo que has never been an acceptable defense for ones violation of the rules.

Again, store the damn things and when you pass by a proper waste disposal facility, take care of buisiness.

It's where you sit, and I hate to be alone.

Made sense to ban high wattage incandescents. New bulbs use 20% of the power

Luddites of America unite!

I will try. I use rechargeable batteries so I don't buy many batteries.

Some people simply do not like the light given off by the new tubes/diodes. So basically they just have to "live with it?"

I like the incandescent bulbs

They remind me of the Republican Party.....obsolete
