That's soo true. We went through all this bulb mercury crap through the late '70s early '80s. I think the same dopes who wanted to outlaw them then, are pushing them now. Besides the clean-up, how much energy/pollution does it take to produce them and how much is used just to ship them here? Besides, they're not natural light. Don't mind them at work but don't want them at home.

By they way.. ask the people (political position holding people) who proudly changed to these bulbs what they did with their old bulbs. They probably threw them out instead of donating them or waiting for them to burn out. Maybe they should push energy conservation and useful ideas for a range of people instead of a money making scheme.
