What’s Choice Got To Do With It?
~ DOING THINGS OTHER PEOPLE and forcing them to do stuff for their own good– it’s lotsa fun. And if you can be all sanctimonious, plus make a huge pile of money while doing it? Huzzah!
See, curlybulbs bulbs save energy, and that will reduce global warming, and save polar bears & the planet– or something like that. So how can we let little stuff like free will, the market, what people want, the whole story on ‘climate change’, or a less-than-promised poisonous technology get in the way?
Thus, your betters in the North American/ EU nanny-states– with a load of backroom deals with GE, China, and heaven knows who else– have decreed unto the rest of us the lowly minions, that old-style tungsten-vacuum bulbs will be banned.
Illegal. Verboten. Not for sale on the open market.
In some places, the hoarding has already begun. No doubt, a black market will arise, making eco-criminals of honest folk who just want a decent bulb.
2012.. 2013. coming soon, whether you like it or agree or whether the curlybulb technology is safe or the best possible.. or not. Lightbulb enforcement has come to the Western world.
