How Many Dupes Does It Take To Change Our Light Bulbs?

The latest fad being pushed to get people to think they are helping the environment is CFL light bulbs. These are a low energy consuming fluorescent light bulb that many countries are planning to force the public to use as they prepare to ban traditional incandescent bulbs.

Now, just when you thought naive "green" bandwagoneers couldn't get any more foolish than Sheryl Crow saying we need to ditch napkins and wipe our asses with a single piece of toilet tissue, we have major companies like Home Depot (who celebrated Earth Day by giving away free CFL bulbs) and Wal-Mart (known for Chinese sweatshop labor and complicity in narco-trafficking, according to the late maverick muckraker Sherman Skolnick) encouraging us to buy a new type of light bulb. This is supposed to be good for our environment, but on closer analysis this makes those Polish people who have been the butt of "dumb" jokes sound like geniuses. These CFL bulbs give fluorescent light, which is a poor spectrum of light and creates discomfort for sensitive people. Worse, the bulbs contain mercury and sometimes even a radioactive element, which are quite hazardous to our health.

I'm glad I've gotten a stash of cheap incandescent bulbs! Sadly, the hoopla over saving energy is bult around the idea that energy is scarce and expensive. Our universe can supply unlimited energy if we use the appropriate technologies. The inventor of AC electricity had planned to supply free energy to the world but the elite industrialists shelved that idea. Nikola Tesla had demonstrated his ability to transmit electricity through the Earth, but he's not the only scientist with advanced energy generation and propulsion systems whose inventions have been kept from the public. Instead of playing the elites' control game we need to demand they release the technologies they withhold from us. Even solar power can be implemented to provide abundant affordable energy, but that has not been supported much by America's government. Rather than focusing on carbon credits and installing toxic light bulbs, we need to address genuine man-made environmental problems (the CFL bulbs add to a major problem of heavy metal poisons) and overcome monopolies that have suppressed abundance in order to exploit limited resources they control. Most importantly, we need to investigate and THINK before jumping on any bandwagon; let's not let our emotional impulses and good intentions be exploited... we need to use our hearts and minds, our logic and intuition, the wholeness of our being to navigate our existence in a more masterful way.
