It is a God given right to drink downstream from where somebody else is peeing.

Don't you know?

It's right there in the Constitution.

The new LED bulbs are safe, long lasting, and use very little power.

"The government has no business telling an individual what kind of light bulb to buy," she said in a news release Wednesday.

I hope this will go through. I hate those stupid CFL's. I agree with Bachmann. The government should not be determining what kinds of light bulbs we can have.

A perfect example of political cooperation, co-authors a R and a D. Political cooperation is not in itself always a good thing.

Wackadoos reside on both sides of the aisle. Upton the R wanted to head the house energy committe. Think that's a good idea?

Who were the idiots complict in passing this legislation. Look that up and grade their qualifications to be your legislative representative.

Consider the 'quid pro quo' that went into passing that legislation. Good deal?

The amount of water we can use in our toilets. Oh wait, the Democrats in Congress already dictated that one too. These leftist fascists should be shot on sight.

The big picture of this is carbon credits. The PTB make money off selling them to other countries. It's all about making money.

Our light bulbs, if discontinued, lowers our carbon credits by THEIR standard, they now have MORE carbon credits to SELL to other countries which gives them PERMISSION to pollute more.

This has been discussed here many times and when people finally figure out we are being manipulated by the PTB for their gain and our loss.

The mercury bulbs and the poisoning of our land and people is a crisis waiting in the wings for their next adventure.
