But they can’t black out the moon Dept
Peter Ashley:
We've seen some jaw-dropping dictats... for some time, but this one beggers belief. So, from yesterday apparently, it's ‘ban all those perfectly serviceable lightbulbs, use this [CFL] crap instead because it will save a polar bear’. Ugly, dim, and utterly out-of-step. And that’s just the Department of Eco Facism. Will we now have the Lightbulb Police flashing their clockwork torches through our windows- “ere, put that light out, don’t yer know there’s an iceberg melting?â€. What are cartoonists going to do if they’re stopped from putting the traditional bulb above someone’s head to denote ‘idea’?...Don’t laugh Americans, it’ll be here in three years.
Oh well, as Peter says, we can always go back to candles.
