some good ones :)
Obama’s wish list omitted–or maybe he had not completed it–his wishes for more Planned Parenthood funding, less implemenation of Defense of Marriage directives, fewer conscience clauses for health care providers, more birth control paid for by insurance carriers and the government, another term for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, and lastly, most of all…a new Air Force One with an eighteen hole golf course on board.
Reminds me I have to buy a bunch of decent light bulbs for the cupboard before they disapear off the shelves in a couple of weeks.
Actually the mercury-lights-only initiative has now been defunded and is essentially dead after only being active for two-weeks. Working, non-toxic lightbulbs are back in production, thank goodness.
I always enjoy when Republicans get all excited about some sort of environmental issue. “Yes, we are super concerned about mercury in these bulbs. Now get out of our way as we try to abolish clean air laws and run a massive oil pipeline through a source of fresh water for the midwest!”.
:-)
I always enjoy when people who don’t know me make assumptions about what parts of whose politics I do and don’t support. Especially when it concerns issues I’ve never discussed with them or in their presence.
Ex-Gop, oil pipeline, quite a bit safer than oil tanker. Clean air laws, strict enough as it is, liberal attempts to lower ’emissions’ to lower than what is found naturally in the air is stupid and *only* serves to kill businesses, *not* help the environment, which, btw, *requires* carbon monoxide to survive. Mercury filled lightbulbs? Direct toxic threat against me and my 2 small children who live in a poorly ventilated 3rd floor apartment. Breaking a lightbulb (have you read the clean up instructions??) in this apartment would require my children to breath dangerously mecury laden air while I set up all the fans and open all the windows, then take them outside for the required airing out. And since such unreasonable demands such as ‘consider replacing the carpet’ are quite impossible even one broken bulb could mean a months long letching of mercury vapor into the closed air of our apartment. Furthmore, my husband and I both get migraines, which can be easily worsened by florencent or led lighting. And, on a less serious but still annoying point, I draw and craft frequently. The non-natural light emitted by such non-incandescent light makes this very difficult. If you want to use dangerous, inferior lighting in your house because you have a false expectation of engery savings (false because of the extra energy needed to produce and properly despose of the non incandescent lights) be my guest. But the notion that such stupidity should be mandated is just that, stupidity.
It is wonderful to have a couple hundred people tell 300 million of us what lightbulbs we can use. They are looking out for us! How nice!
These same liberal elitests who tell us what lightbulbs to use also want the lower classes to abort their babies–after all “people are pollution” and we would be better off without them contributing to more global warming. They fret about the unlikely impact of an oil pipeline on our water, but are silent about the contamination of our drinking water and long term health effects that has come about through the massive use of abortifacient birth control drugs that they themselves are the biggest proponent of.
OOH, Ex.
Try again.
Jespren –
I thought I had a comment in here in response to your post – must not have saved or something.
Short of it – I think it is unfair of you to dismiss the potential problems of running a giant oil pipeline close to fresh water sources, while embracing possible issues regarding lightbulbs.
I”m guessing my post didn’t save because I had an article linked…if you google a bit and read up on the lightbulbs, the interesting thing is, because they’ve acted so late, manufacturing plants have already upgraded and switched over. According to the industry, there’s now danger in regards to unregulated old bulbs on the market.
Hi Jerry and Jespren,
I posted this comment on the wrong thread. Anyway, concerning the absurdity of government regulation of light bulbs, my daughter was told by a pharmacist that if she got the more expensive asthma inhaler, she would help save the planet.
She told the pharmacist she didn’t “give a s—” and to give her the cheaper one. Obviously her mother’s daughter.
Imagine how a planet, that has since the beginning of time survived asteroids, ice ages, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc. only to be done in by an asthma inhaler.
Yes, Mary. it never ceases to amaze. In the 1970’s people were sure that we were entering a new ice age. Then in the 90’s it changed to global warming, which they were equally sure of. And now it is simply “climate change” which, you guessed it, they are sure of once again.
Jerry: It is wonderful to have a couple hundred people tell 300 million of us what lightbulbs we can use.
Where in Hell’s half-acre is this coming from? You can get incandescent bulbs in the same size, shape and connection. They’re just going to have more efficient filaments in them, i.e. a 72 watt bulb will put out the light of a former 100 watter.
