What I wouldn't give for a lightbulb

Frustration.
Anger.
Despair.
Anguish.

All these emotions, and more, are what I am feeling right now. It all began several hours ago, when my last lightbulb burnt out. So, what does a sensible man do? Not what I do, anyway. I scrounged all my spare lamps, but alas, they too were bulbless! I was, officially, out of lightbulbs. So that meant then I had to do what any sensible man would, and that's go to the store and buy some lightbulbs.

Now, I'm not sure how you all are, but personally I'm not a huge fan of the florecent, swirly bulbs that are everywhere. They have their uses, yes, but for general use I like a normal incandescent light bulb. They come on instantly, they're just the right brightness, and better yet for outdoor use they actually make heat (great for when it's snowing and the wind is blowing, helps keep the snow from building on the bulb). BUT TO MY SURPRISE, WHEN I WENT DOWN THE LIGHTBULB AISLE IN THE HARDWARE STORE, THERE WERE NO INCANDESCENT BULBS TO BE SEEN. Only those... cursed, evil ones that aren't compatible with half of my lamp shades.

I was, and still am, furious! Apparently, our lovely government who just loves to mettle into things they just shouldn't, has decided that those bulbs should be banned.

I... wh... BUWHAAAAT???

No. Aw hell naw. So you're tell me, that now you're forcing me to have to buy a particular type of lightbulb, instead of letting me choose which one? No. Just, no. That's a crock of shit. I will not accept it. I DEMAND RETRIBUTION! I DEMAND JUSTICE. I DEMAND MY GOD DAMNED LIGHT BULBS! HOW DARE YOU CHOOSE FOR ME WHAT IS "RIGHT", OR "ECONOMIC". I don't give a flip! I want what WORKS! As I said before, yes those new ones do have uses. I like them for my shop lights, cause they don't get hot. Which is nice when you're under a car with one of those next to you, cause it won't burn you.

But that's it. I, personally, do not like how they light. It's similar to LED's for me, I don't like those either. LED's cast darker shadows on things, and make only what they are directly hitting visible.

So, now with all that said, looks like I'm going to be blowing what little money I have left on stocking up on incandescent lightbulbs. Next thing I know, the government's gonna tell me what cars I can and can't drive. I'd like to see them try... I'll drive my '86 Buick Riviera so far up their high strung asses they'll be wiping the tire marks off their tongues. Well, providing the noxious fumes and 12 mpg economy doesn't due them in.
