Every week when I go to the lumber store I buy two packages of
incandescent bulbs. I do not like the new designs which are noisy and
contain who knows what materials inside. I've heard there is MERCURY
inside them. That's totally obscene. We need to keep the Mercury in
the children's vaccines where it belongs. In the wintertime I don't
think incandescent bulbs are really inefficient as we are heating the
house up anyway.

Who cares what's inside them; you're not going to eat them. More
mercury is scattered over the countryside producing the extra Watts
required by your coal-burning lamp.

I have been using fluorescent lamps exclusively for 20 years; there's no
way I'd go back to the incandescents.
