I Will NOT
I Will NOT put those stupid, irritating, politically correct and ridiculous compact fluorescent light bulbs in my house. I refuse. I will stockpile the regular light bulbs that I choose to use and that I want to use instead of those idiot "environmentally sensitive" compact fluorescents.
I received an update for my website the other day. It was titled, "Compact Fluorescents The Focus of Hazardous Materials Awareness Week". Say WHAT?!!
They mandate that I use them in order to save the environment and a few pennies, but they also know that they are hazardous materials?
Um... I'm sorry, but since when does the government have the ability to tell civilians that we have to put something dangerous into our homes, instead of taking it out? Isn't it the government who said that we can no longer use five gallon flush toilets (and they weren't even dangerous!)? Isn't it the government who said that we cannot eat the good popcorn at the movies? Isn't it the government that said that we had to stop using hydroflurocarbons as propellants in our hair spray, refrigeration, and other things? Wasn't the government responsible for all these little-bitty-eetsy-weeny cars that are scooting around our neighborhoods because the SUVs (horrible things that they are: comfy and safe in a crash) were polluting our air too much and putting out too much carbon?
This same government, the one that tells us what we should be eating to keep us from gaining weight; what kind of exercise we should be getting to keep our hearts healthy; what we should be using to wash our clothes in (front loading washers, anyone?) so that we can save the planet but it won't harm us in the meantime, is telling us that we have to put something dangerous into our homes?
Wait just a cotton pickin' minute.
They're the government that is supposed to protect us. They have all these government offices and all these government employees that were set-up strictly and exclusively to tell us what to do and how to live so that we can stay alive longer and be away from danger. Right? And now they're telling us that we must change our light bulbs — en masse, without question, no exceptions — to a light bulb that is a hazardous material?
Not only must we change it, but we have to do so even if we are elderly and our fingers don't work as well as they used to and while we are changing those compact fluorescent light bulbs we may drop one and it may break and the noxious mercury vapors will get into our lungs and down our throats and into our eyes and — who knows — maybe even kill us?
The elderly, those with asthma, those with little babies, or other health concerns are mandated to change to those idiot little light bulbs just like you and I are mandated. No one has given them a special pass.
Not that I agree with special passes, but when push comes to shove, I think we should all stand up and say "NO!" all together because we are the ones whose lives will be put in danger, whose health will be affected, whose health insurance will have to pay for the ambulance ride, the emergency room visit, the treatments and medications there if one of those stupid things breaks and we are exposed to it. We are the ones who will have to get the haz-mat team out to our houses and pay for the disposal of the contaminated contents of our houses. We are the ones who will be replacing those things because our homeowner's insurances will certainly not pay for them!
After all, what insurance company do you know that pays for something mandated by the Federal Government in order to save the earth? Did they pay when the whole country had to switch to cars that had catalytic converters on them in order to run cleaner? No. Did they pay for the two gallon per flush toilets you have to use now? No. Will they pay when every washing machine in the U.S. of A. has to be front loading and use less water in order to save the environment? NO!
Yet, we all go quietly along into the danger zone that is compact fluorescent light bulbs like good little sheep in order to save a few cents a year, a few carbon minutes, a few watts of power. At the risk of our lives and the lives of our loved ones, we put the environment and a few pennies first.
I refuse. Those are not my core principles and I will not go against my core principles. I will NOT use compact fluorescent light bulbs at any time in my home. I will not go quietly into that dark night and I will NOT subject myself to a hazardous situation because the idiot government decided to acquiesce to a bunch of idiot lobbiests and agreed to do what they wanted at the cost of who knows how many lives, or the health of who knows how many people?
Will you join me in my boycott of these idiot things: compact fluorescent light bulbs? Stockpile the regular light bulb of your choice now. Believe me, several thousand people with attics full of regular light bulbs will be a bigger voice than just one.
Remember: it's your health and the health of your loved ones or a few pennies. You choose.

Not to mention these idiotic lightbulbs, because they are flourescent, will slowly destroy textiles and paper - and anything susceptible to sunlight. These are the worst things for museums and historic houses in which there are sensitive and delicate materials.

Thanks for a good review of a book that speaks truth of what's coming our way unless Americans wake up fast. Saul Alinsky is merely an updated Karl Marx. The 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto live on.
Connecting the dots between the president, his Czars and others who have influenced Obama's life is like reading Marx's or Alinsky's "how to succeed" manual.
Now we will see the Chicago red worms really come out of the woodwork if Chicago gets the Olympic nod. Valerie Jarrett, Chicago's Mayor Daley's former top official and the CEO of Habitat in Chicago is one to observe. Habitat is a front which used federal taxpayer dollars to build and "manage" housing for the poor. Grove Park, once Jarrett's crown jewel, is a totally neglected slum tenement as shown on TV. Jarrett still stands to gain again by millions since it will be torn down and rebuilt to accomodate the athletes.
Incidentally, Jarrett is considered the Obama's closest family friend. Now do we understand the need for the president and his wife to waste tax dollars, flying separately to lobby for Chicago? Yes, Jarrett accompanied Michele Obama to Copenhagen.
Chicago: riddled with crime, corruption, Acorn and SEIU. Wow. What a place to bring families to visit. In order for these rotten radicals to make this venue acceptable, it will cost us taxpayers another fortune. Ready to take a 2nd or 3rd job yet?
Please continue to investigate and report on the Socialist/Communist influence that permeates this administration.
America not AmeriKa!
