Enjoyed your "Common Sense" and truthful post. Those are rare these
days.

yep, ban >mercury< vapor lights, then come up with a LAW to put
lights WITH Mercury and phosphorous in all our homes.
Brilliant. just brilliant. All in the guise of "how much we will all
save".
Not to worry. "Hilarious Care" (Hillary Clinton Care to be precise)
will then take care of their six legged mercury infested offspring,
and the government will care about the problem sooo much that they
will go after "Big Mercury" with a lawsuit to show them who's boss.
They will promise the settlement money to "help the people", but it
will all get redirected to some other really important expendature
like monkey butt hair studies or the like. NO mention will ever be
made in the "we're not leftist" newsrolls that it was the government
itself who came up with the stupid idea in the first place, and then a
bunch of foolish thinking people just marched along to their leaders
drumbeat.
Oh well, Not much anyone can do about it.

A very long time ago there was a move to ban and encourage sodium in
Falgstaff. It was because of the observatory. One thing very noticeable
about Flagstaff when my wife and I visit, the sky is beautiful at night.
The lighting in the town is elegant. You can call it government, but it
is what a 'people' decided and it worked.

Could you take a little more time to read what
you write, how can sodium be both banned and encouraged?

He was basically referring to where they banned mercury vapor lights, and
encouraged sodium based sources.

How strange.
I loathe that orange light. It's gives lousy visibility.
