Default Banning incandescent lamps?

The only practical solution would be to manufacture all common, household
bulb-type lighting fixtures with a left-hand garden hose connector thread.

That will ultimately solve two problems.. ordinary lamp/fixture lamps will
have to be replaced with only the approved "kill the planet with polluting
manufacturing effects of making the CF lamps"..

and also put an end to the fuctup LL/RT saying "lefty-loosey.." (and you
know the rest).

The new expression would probably need to be something like Clockwise, it's
time to replace the defective CF lamp and where's the GD package that stated
that this thing was supposed to last for years.
Anti-Clockwise, to screw in the new planet killing (easy to remember.. as in
screw the planet) CF lamp that will only last about one year despite the
packaging claim of seven year life.

Mandated vehicle mileage:
BMW and the Hummer divisions to release new, stylish bicycle models.

EISA 2007 is said to ban incandescent lamps.

I defy anyone to understand this law. See the lightbulb text he

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/...LWOHv:e261985:

What, are we gonna have lightbulb police?

Apparently the left-hand thread is an exemption. Are we gonna see a boom
in right-to-left-hand-thread lamp base adapters?

Don't get me started on 35 mpg cars. The US government decrees a change
in
the laws of physics!
