Abslutely right, PeeDee-

Just think of the fiendishly prolonged and agonizing deaths suffered by thousands every time one of the old-time mercury thermometers (which contained many times the amount of mercury in a CFL) was broken - its enough to wring the heart.

Ditto electric heating thermostats & mercury switches & on & on.

CFL's are undeniably the end of civuilization as we know it.

Don't get me wrong- I think the law was stupid, I think CFLs are over-rated, I think the light they give off stinks, and I resent being forced to use a product that contains toxic chemicals.

But get a grip, will ya? and knock of all this insane alarmist shit.
