Are You Ready?

In one month from today, January 1, 2012, the United States Government, with all it's power, will march into your home and officially tell you what kind of light bulbs you are allowed to use. No, they will not be using armed Police or Navy SEALS to enforce this mandate. Not at first, anyway. They will simply ban the production and sale of the incandescent light bulbs we've all grown up with. Why? Because they say so. Can you just see old Thomas Edison spinning in his grave?

As an example of how the Left is always looking for ways to save us from ourselves, decades ago, the social engineers of the Left, using the govt. as they usually do, declared war on glass. Yes, glass. Glass bottles that carried milk, soda, beer, etc. were demonized to the point where they seemed to be Public Enemy #1. It's an old and effective tactic used by the Left, even today. Instead of glass, which they said would end all life as we know it, we were "urged" to use plastic. Plastic containers, plastic bags, plastic everything. Today of course, those same Left-wing social engineers tell us that plastic is killing us and the entire planet, and that we should switch to glass. (which BTW, can be recycled endlessly)

How, you may ask, can they come into my home and tell me what to do? Well, you might want to take a look around at all the other things they now dictate, like what to eat, what to drive, what to watch and read, etc. While we've all been busy watching TV "reality " shows, while we've allowed the MSM to inform us about what's going on, we've become exactly what the govt., the MSM, and the rest of the Left wanted us to become, a nation of weak, mindless, sheep. You see, sheep don't protest. They simply go along to wherever they're pushed and do whatever they're told to do. Perhaps it's time we replaced the eagle with the sheep as our national symbol, or would that be too honest...
