I'm wondering just how long it'll be before people start throwing away all those compact fluorescent bulbs and the government starts mandating how they're disposed of. Bad laws breed more bad laws. How bad is a CF bulb for the earth? What sorts of havoc is THAT bulb going to wreak on the dumps? Ugh. The guilt! Oh yeah, and good luck getting people to hold on to those return shipment containers for the 5-7 years life of the bulbs. I hate that stuff stacking up for 5-7 days!
