And to make things worse, I have had two of the CFLs that had burned out start to actually burn! They were both in multi light fixtures, so I didn't hurry to replace them. That is, until I smelled them burning! Dangerous in so many ways. Write to your congressman. There are a bunch who are trying to get that ridiculous bill changed. And don't even get me started on the recycle bit. They are probably going to Mexico and being recylcled like they do the batteries silly people recycle. All that toxic crap gets dumped into the rivers down there and poisions the children.
