CFL bulbs are full of lead and mercury. Until they do something about that, I can't support their wide-spread use. LEDs will be cool in a few more years.

The bigger question should be does the government have the right to dictate to consumers what they can a can't buy when it isn't an issue of safety?

	For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
