UGH-now the light bulbs

  Having watched some commie on Cavuto tonight ranting about getting rid of McDonald's altogether because everything they sell (apparently including the Apple "fries" and the salads) is so awful that people will DIE if they eat it, now the truth comes out about CFL lightbulbs.
  We knew that were hazardous and had to be disposed of correctly if broken. No vacuum cleaner, no sweeping. No trash can.
  But now we learn that they are also FIRE HAZARDS.
  Read the article and see the links at American Thinker:
Statists believe government can determine people's economic interactions better than the people themselves.  In short, they believe government economic planning is superior to the free market. Politicians are always looking for ways to demonstrate this to justify the statist ideological conviction and retain the political power to force it on the public.  From low-flow toilets to ethanol subsidies and mandates, to creating the housing bubble that collapsed (taking the rest of the economy with it), and everything in between, they have a consistent record of failure.  Now it's CFLs.  People are being forced to switch from a reliable, economical, environmentally safe product to one which is none of these -- and a health and safety hazard to boot.
