June 20, 2007, 4:19am (report abuse)Government ignorance and stupidity never cease to stun and amaze me.
I've never liked incandescent light bulbs and welcomed the relatively new screw-in fluorescent replacements -- especially the daylight type that eliminate that obnoxious yellow hue.
But there's major problem with those new bulbs: Though they're promoted as lasting thousands of hours, I have yet to buy one that lasted more than a month -- and I've tried at least a dozen of them of various brands.
Memo to government: Fix the bulbs before you start passing stupid laws outlawing lights that definitely work and making overpriced lights that definitely don't work the only ones available.
Classic government in action...
