At some point the American people at large will have to wake up to what the beast in Washington is doing. Laws like the 2007 anti-incandescent light bulb mandate are the kind of things that will probably make that happen. The central planning do gooders and busybodies are attempting to micromanage our lives at such a minute level now, that it's just becoming outright ridiculous. Said Energy Secretary Steven Chu on Friday: "We are taking away a choice that continues to let people waste their own money."

What he really meant to say is that he thinks he's a lot smarter than us silly consumers and he knows what's best for us.  At least one senator is sticking up for personal choice.
