Default (OT) Upton flips a switch on CFL bulbs

Nah...CFLs have a -minimal- amount of mercury in them -- and if the CFL
isn't broken, it's a non-issue.

Just for the record, the standard 4 foot fluorescent bulb has a lot more
mercury than the CFL...and nobody is wetting their pants about them.

BTW, got any amalgam fillings in your teeth? They contain mercury -- and
most of us are still here to talk about it.

Had a tuna fish sandwich for lunch? Tuna is -full- of mercury.

IMHO, CFLs are near the bottom of the list of our mercury worries.

Just my 2 cents...
