Only in California...

California wants to ban the incandescent lightbulb.

No joke!  Report from CNN and Reuters. The bill is called the "How Many Legislators Does it Take to Change a Lightbulb Act."

And here we find the fundamental disconnect. Civilization vs. Barbarism. I, for one, will continue to be on the side of civilization. This romanticism and idealizing of barbarism and primitive culture is one of the silliest things to come out of the modern pseudo-intellectual movement. Many people have said that barbarism only wins if civilization is sabotaged from the inside. It seems to be proving more and more true every day.
