On January 1st the official ban of 60 watt light bulbs go in effect. Is this ban based on the danger of the product? I don’t think so unless you really don’t know how to screw in a light bulb. Is it based on some long term danger to an individual? No that’s the bulb we’ll be forced to replace it with, which most have Mercury in them. This ban is based on forcing us to be “more energy efficient” on the government terms.
It’s just another example of big brother truly knows what’s best for us. If the government truly felt that this was the way to go couldn’t they put in an incentive plan instead of banning a product or are we just to stupid? Yet we continue to elect representatives that are our babysitters instead of employees working for our own interest. When will learn that government should work for us and we must be responsible for our own decisions.
Wow, wonderful weblog. And Merry Christmas to you!
