And why is the lamestream media ignoring the mercury
content of the fluorescents?

I've seen discussion of that issue in the news media, repeatedly. It
is also kind of hard to miss when our local hardware store collects
CFLs for proper disposal along with dead batteries. Anyone who
hasn't seen this issue discussed in the news media is perhaps making
an effort to see only what they want to see.


And avoiding the histrionics of those screech about mercury with the
preamble "Thy Doom is Nigh!"

I don't begrudge the nay-sayers; such crusades give their otherwise
meaningless lives a purpose. I just wish they'd dial back the decibel level
and quit pestering normal folk.
