Again They Are Not Thinking of the Consequences - The Chicken Littles Are Trying to Poison Us

I posted last week on the Leftards/Global Warming Alarmists/Donks implementing programs and not thinking about the consequences of the those programs. Now coming to light is the repercussions of getting rid of your perfectly good incandescent light bulbs and using those fluorescent lamps that many states and local Gov'ts are trying to mandate be used, all for the non-existent "Global Warming".

WASHINGTON – Brandy Bridges heard the claims of government officials, environmentalists and retailers like Wal-Mart all pushing the idea of replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy-saving and money-saving compact fluorescent lamps.

So, last month, the Prospect, Maine, resident went out and bought two dozen CFLs and began installing them in her home. One broke. A month later, her daughter's bedroom remains sealed off with plastic like the site of a hazardous materials accident, while Bridges works on a way to pay off a $2,000 estimate by a company specializing in environmentally sound cleanups of the mercury inside the bulb.

CFLs are all the rage. They are the spirally shaped, long-lasting bulbs everyone is being urged, cajoled and guilt-tripped into purchasing to replace Thomas Edison's incandescents, which are being compared to suburban utility vehicles for their impracticality and energy inefficiency. However, there is no problem disposing of incandescents when their life is over. You can throw them in the trash can and they won't hurt the garbage collector. They won't leech deadly compounds into the air or water. They won't kill people working in the landfills.

The same cannot be said about the mercury-containing CFLs. They bear disposal warnings on the packaging. But with limited recycling prospects and the problems experienced by Brandy Bridges sure to be repeated millions of times, some think government, the green community and industry are putting the cart before the horse marketing the new technology so ferociously.

So the Al Gores want us to get rid of something works and is clean, for something that is not as efficient and can poison us? Makes sense to me, especially if your ultimate goal is to kill people off to save Mother Gaia.

Those on left, whether they be the Chicken Littles, anti-war radicals, Donks or Enviro-nazis, don't care anything about the impact of their agenda, they only care about their agenda and to hell with who it hurts. And that is what happens when you walk around with rose colored glasses with blinders on the side of them, you see only what you want to see and nothing else. Well I say it's time that reality pimp slaps those glasses off their faces and point outs how they are starving, poisoning, and impoverishing the public.
