(708 posts)Realistically, a whole lot of them are going to wind up in landfills, leeching mercury into the water table. No matter how careful you and I are with the environment, the average Joe Sixpack isn't, and these things are not something that ought to be tossed into landfills.
I'll stick with LEDs, thank you. I like that whiter light anyway.

amerciti001
(158 posts)1: Critical Thinking= using logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or approaches to problems;
2: Complex Problem Solving= identifying complex problems and reviewing related information to develop and evaluate options and implement solutions;
3: Analytical Thinking= analyzing information and using logic to address issues and problems;
4: Initiative= the willingness to take on responsibilities and challenges
Now these are the things they really do not like!!

(1 post)I strongly feel the main reason why the GOP hate's Mr. Obama and his family, Is because those so called christian's, Strongly feel that a Aferican American Man and women belong serving them their every need. These same people DID NOT like the fact the North won the Civil War. The hate for people that are not "WHITE" goes so far deep in our American History and will NOT go away any time soon!! The leader's in the GOP party, Like Rush "NUT JOB" Laumbach and Sean "D BAG" Hanity, Make's their head spin, seening a man in the White House that is just as smart as our Finding Father's. The fact that their is a man in the White House has more brain's in his little finger, Than the whole party does. The GOP strongly feels the White House only belong's to "RICH WHITE PEOPLE" and those who are not "WHITE" belong either in the kitchen or behind the steering wheel.
This is the only time in US history, That we first heard the word "birther's" And all the other code word's for "NOT WHITE" The GOP is and are wilingl do to every thing in their power to make sure this man "FAIL's"!! Even if it tanks the US economy. It's way more important to see this man sink's than to do the job for the American people. This man (B.O) saved this country from going back 200 year's, Made sure that many compaines did not go under and much much more. All thanks to the man named GEORGE W. BUSH and is so called team.
All people should do their best to make sure the GOP is NEVER,NEVER,NEVER BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!! Get the word out and make sure that you do your American Duty and VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!! If you want this county to go back to the 1700's, Than by all means vote Republican!!!!

(708 posts)Iceland put away a few government officials and one head of the state-run bank there, and one other for insider trading. Hardly "imprisoning the banksters."

The "we put the banksters in jail and bailed out the people" meme sounds good, but it doesn't really hold water.

Their economic "cures" and "solutions" for America's middle/working/poor are about as useful to me as someone with a full dumptruck of materials getting out of the cab and saying "Here's a pile of bricks, pipe, concrete and wood. Build a house."
