    End of the Lightbulb??!!,....Edison, say it ain't so!

    No its not, but people dont find out for themselves, they just go by popluar opinion without actually doing more research than going to Wikapedea or the AP Press. I'm in the industry, I work to fix the boilers, (no one is telling me anything I dont already know, so why the argumentative...

    End of the Lightbulb??!!,....Edison, say it ain't so!

    What does forests, glaciers and fossil fuels have to do with using old-time light bulbs?? I work as a boilermaker in HUGE industrial power plant boilers. Steam boilers. Many "are" coal fired boilers, however, I see them being turned into other fuel burning steam boilers in the near future...

    End of the Lightbulb??!!,....Edison, say it ain't so!

    Just saw this pop up on yahoo,.... I can understand the push for energy conservation, I'm all for it, but this is a virtual outlawing of,....incandescent Light bulbs?? That's a little rediculous, if you want to use old light bulbs in your nice antique chanderlier that's your choice, not...

    S.F. doctor honored for helping save France from Nazis

    Yes, yes you can. That's a very poor defense. Its about the soul and heart of a nation in relation to another nation. All of the conflicts in WWII were battles for EVERY nation's survival! So, that is an irrelavant staement. So, yes, it is all the same. Everyone's fight meant as much to them...
