Colonial Williamsburg ... old meets new

Lanterns in Colonial Williamsburg used to have flame-shaped electrical bulbs. All have now been replaced with these polically correct, ridiculous-looking mercury twisty bulbs.

Really stupid! I have these bulbs. I've already decided I will stockpile incandescent bulbs.

I have a pewter chandalier that uses the flame-shaped bulbs ... and I am dreading when I can no longer find them and have to use the ridiculous-looking, politically correct curly ones filled with mercury. Won't my chandalier look pretty?

I'm tired of the government telling me what to do.

They are so, as my kids would say, butt ugly.

Anyway, I'm with you, tired of the government interfering in our lives.
