Just kidding. This is neither the time nor the place.


You're right, this is neither the time nor the place...... but regulation of commerce between states should never have evolved into banning lightbulbs or anything else for that matter by the federal government. There are very clear remedies in the constitution for Federal government run amok, it is up to us, the citizens of this country, to see to it our elected officials respect us and those remedies. Due to apathy, indifference and acquiescence we have allowed DC to get away with too much and our economy and citizens are paying the price. Time to wake up.
