Guess what Conservatives won't buy?

[sadaist]

So now it's a "lie" that CFL bulbs use less energy?

The entire premise of global warming which is what caused this bullshit $75 light bulb law that is a lie. I'm gonna miss getting 3 bulbs for $1 to keep the pantry stocked.

Thanks for proving my case about effective propaganda

Nooooooo shit....

[ELVIS]

It's the right wing. Specifically the corporatist right wing in this case, but a lot of people who don't consider themselves corporatists, and certainly don't benefit economically or otherwise from predatory corporatism, are falling for this bullshit.

Sucks to be them, I guess...

Well, then it sucks to be you, because you buy a lot of their propaganda, especially the climate change denial stuff. You DO know that the KKKoch Brothers are funding most of that, right?

Maybe if ("god" forbid) his home state gets slammed with another Katrina he'll "find religion" on the subject, so to speak? He'd still like to think the first one was a fluke...y'know, like what happened to NY & NJ before the election, and....

I don't buy shit...

They're all lying and they all have an agenda...

I don't deny climate change because some Koch brothers or whoever say so...

I deny it on my own accord...

The problem is all in the wording and the fact twats like Al Gore make money off it.

Climate Change is real....

The climate is and always has changed.

I work in a Potash mine on the Canadian Prairies...the deposit is from a dried up inland sea that dates back over 300 million years...and at that time was the location of the equator.

It is impossible to deny Climate change.

The focus should be on pollution and the damage being done to the earth.

While one volcano can do more damage than humans the fact is we need to do better...we should not be poisoning the planet.

I don't deny climate change, silly...

I deny the man made climate agenda bullshit...

I hate those lightbulbs...that has nothing to do with my politics!

I hear ya.... I'd be totally OK with them, but they don't fit in half the fucking fixtures! I just stuck one in the overhead light in here because it went and I'm too beat to go buy regular ones - so THAT cover's not going back on until I swap it out tomorrow...

[FORD]

Yeah, you would think now that these things had become the "standard" lightbulb, they could think of ways to make them more compatible with older light fixtures. Obviously any fluorescent light is going to be in the form of a "tube", but maybe the tube should be more in the shape of an old school light bulb?

[ELVIS]

The technology is not that simple...

[FORD]

Well, 20 years ago, nobody probably thought you could make them look like a pig's tail either, but they managed to do that. Fluorescents used to just be the long tubes. Then they got the odd loop shapes (one of my lamps has a bulb shaped like a "B"). Then the pig-tailed CFL's came out, designed to replace old lightbulbs, but they work better in some fixtures than others. Ultimately the LED's will probably take over anyway, since they already conform to a "normal" bulb shape and last even longer, but many people are going to wait for the price to drop on those things. And it will drop, as prices on newer technology always do.
