Not that I want to develop a habit of debating the domestic political policy BUT....

After the first minute I started to feel quite angry... Whilst this guy might have a reasonable point about the issues surrounding disposal of CF bulbs, objecting to the phasing out of incandecents bulbs based on constitutional grounds is a null argument used by people who have no argument.

Incandecent lightbulbs are being phased out here in Australia now. Starting in Jan 2010 it will be illegal to sell them. However, I agree that more needs to be done educating people how to dispose of them. And they need to make it easy to do so safely.

Climate change or no climate change... Man-made or natural earthly cycles, that argument can be debated till the cows come home... The fact of the matter is we need to stop pilphering the natrual resources of Mother Earth in the greedy way we are.

Alright, I'm done... I go away now

It will never happen until we eliminate the "GREEDY" ones. If we don't do it, then nature WILL (and maybe sooner than anyone thinks), to the detriment of us all.
