    I'm lost. Honestly at this point I don't know if we're still talking about light bulbs or "light bulbs"

    @ Tesco. Yeah, I am actually happy that there is a mindset to greater efficiency. I was trying to buy just regular "el cheapo" bulbs.

    @pone I'm a fan of the .45 myself. Even carried a H&K USP Compact 45 during my more paranoid days. Washington state will let a.most anyone get a CC permit.

    @Burnsey You are right. It is more abut being forced into an agenda than really caring about the lightbulbs. I am not opposed to it, for the most part, but there have been some "good intentions" that have gone too far already. Flush toilets are one example. There was a regulation that limited the number of gallons per flush allowed- the toilets did not do the job, so people had to flush several times. Some people actually smuggled non-restricted toilets in from Canada.

    Right. Your choice. Or, it was...
    Well anyway when you find the 60watters you'll want to stock up on them. Eventually they will be banned.
    I remember reading an article saying they would be banned from being sold here in Canada before 2012. I'm sure the US must have something similar coming.

    It's crazy. My act of "rebellion" was to buy a less efficient bulb. The 67W'er rocks!

    Don't sell yourself short. I'd wager that you're full on insane.
