NC to Ban Light Bulbs
I had heard the news on the radio, but I didn't believe it. I've heard the hype from around the planet -- but I thought, "That wouldn't happen here." I told someone about it, and they said, "Oh, that will never pass." Well, the time has come for absolute lunatics (aka Democrats) to do what they do -- ban the light bulb.
(1) A medium screw base. (2) A wattage rating no less than 25 watts and no greater than 150 watts. (3) A shape that is defined as A‑15, A‑19, A‑21, A‑23, A‑25, PS‑25, PS‑30, BT‑14.5, BT‑15, CP‑19, TB‑19, CA‑22, or equivalent shape by the American National Standard Institute standard for electric lamps C78.20‑2003 approved 30 October 2003. (4) A bulb finish of frosted, clear, or soft white type.
So, if the base is changed, you can sell it all you want. Even better -- they claim that the lights burn too hot -- so they're going to ban bulbs that are LESS than 150 watts! Guess what -- they make bulbs that are MORE THAN 150 watts! And when the poor can't buy 60-watt bulbs because they're banned and they can't afford the newer, more expensive, government-approved bulbs, know what they're going to buy and put in their lamps? Yup, 200-watt bulbs! This is really, really beyond stupid! What kind of total moron votes for a bill to ban light bulbs because they burn too hot, but doesn't ban the hottest bulbs of them all? And note the shape limitation. Manufacturers who want to get past this new government ban simply have to make the bulb a slightly different shape that doesn't comply with ANSI standards. If they won't do it, you can bet I will. That's a gold mine waiting to be tapped there! What total crapholes. I'm sorry for the language, but with all the problems facing government, to even believe that they are wasting time even thinking about banning the common light bulb really tells you volumes about the Democrats in North Carolina. And keep in mind -- THE BILL ALREADY PASSED ONCE.

I can believe that loony Democrats propose stupid stuff like this. But I still can't get over the fact the damn thing already passed one reading.

I will agree that incandescents are not the best. They put out a lot of heat, and use way more energy then compact florescent ones, which are what I tend to buy. They also last longer.
But, whatever happened to freedom of choice? This is just another case of the Leftards looking to control everything. Three way CFL's are not cheap. Nor are basic CFL's.
How soon till they ban other items that they deem bad for global warming as caused by Man? Of all the problems to deal with....
I have come to the conclusion that the whole global warming BS issue is looming large simply to cover up the fact that the Dems do not actually have any real plans that they want to share with people, such as raising taxes and abortion on demand. Nationally, it is a deflection from having no plans for victory in the war on terror and in Iraq, and to cover up them being just as bad ethically as the previous congress was.

It's the "in" thing right now. Look how much news coverage it's getting right now. It's all the rage -- even if it's completely made-up.
And yes, this bill is supported by lighting manufacturers -- because they know people will be forced to buy the more expensive bulbs. You can bet there will be kickbacks, err...donations from lighting manufacturers to Democrats increasing.

I disagree with you. Indeed, I’m not giving a ringing disagreement, but just sayin’ what I think. I have my opinion, you have yours.

I was getting pretty edgy reading this. If I say I’m disagreeing with your post I would say nothing. Reading this is meaningless waste of time.

This blog is simply smashing. In my humble opinion of course. As this post is rather debatable I don't think all your blog visitors are going to agree with it.

We have all observed them. The huge guys in the gym, lifting huge stacks of plates and grunting and also sweating like their head is about to explode. Their arms are busting out of their shirts and their legs look like they belong to the horse-a muscular horse. Who would like to look like that? This is one of the main reasons that many people, although they want to lost weight and look great, refuse to lift weights. They are scared that picking up the heavy iron will certainly turn them into hulking behemoths that can't put their arms down by their aspect. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Lifting weights will not turn you into a bodybuilder overnight. Getting the type of muscle you see on those big boys in the gym takes years (10-15) associated with work, incredibly long workouts, and sometimes, a little -help- from a not so natural source-if you receive my drift. For most of us, adding weight training into our exercise program will do exactly what we want it to. Weight training will help you to lose weight, get in shape, and look better at the seaside. You see, for each and every ounce of muscle a person build, your body will accelerate its own internal fat reduction process. The more muscles Recumbent Exercise Bike you build, the more fat you were burn. Now, muscle DOES weigh more than fat, but don't allow that scare you. I am talking about, what do you really care about, how much you bodyweight, or what you look like with your shirt off? That is the actual test if improving your physique is high on your priority list. The majority of us just want to watch the scales and see the pounds come pouring off, but when you are regularly training with weight load, this oftentimes does not really happen. As you are burning fat, you are building muscle mass, so your weight may stay exactly the same, but your body might look drastically different. Your clothes will fit much better, the people at the office will begin to look at your differently so when beach time comes, you may be the first to rip off your shirt!
Therefore, how do you get started with a good weight training program? The last thing you want to do is hit the gym and begin blasting out arm curls with absolutely no idea of what you are doing. Weight training is serious business and can be quite dangerous. One wrong move and you also could wind up lying in the sack for 6 months watching your system slip into worse shape than before you decide to started. A solid rule of thumb when beginning to work with weights is to partner plan someone who knows what they are doing. This might be a friend who has plenty of experience or better however, a personal trainer. A qualified personal trainer can walk you through a step-by-step process of building a highly effective weight training program that will help you to reach your goals while avoiding injury along the way.
So the next time you think about lifting weights, you may not conjure a vision of the well oiled massive figure posing in tiny trunks; you might see yourself, ripped, in form, and looking fantastic because of your weight training system.
