South Carolina flips D.C. The Gamecock

Many people are upset about the federal regulations that come into force next year to ban the conventional light bulbs we all know and love.  In the name of efficiency and the environment, the government has mandated that the American public use mercury-filled, collagen-burning bulbs to light their homes.  Lawmakers in South Carolina, apparently fed up after acquiring Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from repeatedly flushing their low flows, have decided to act.  The state legislator is looking to pass a bill that would allow for the intrastate production and distribution of the until now doomed incandescents.
 I applaud these efforts and think voters who enjoy being free to pick out their own home furnishings should encourage their state legislators to do the same.  Of course, here in California, we are banning the incandescents faster than the Federal Government.
