Allegheny Energy's "Free" Bulbs, No such thing as a free bulb Options

[Snoopy]

Does anyone else feel like we were shafted by the PSC and Allegheny Energy over this one?

Usually if you are sent something in the US Mail you did not order you cannot be charged for it. Seems AE circumvented that. (IMG:http://www.herald-mail.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I'm really impressed with the way they have been able to use LED technology to replace incandescent bulbs. It's not like LED's are new. It's old technology.

It's funny how long so much of our "new technology" has been around. I got to do some work in a patent infringement case involving CD's. The purported inventor of the CD, who filed a patent and had a working CD in the early 1960's, wanted a royalty payment for every CD ever produced. CD's in the 1960's?

When I was in the Air Force and stationed at Griffiss AFB, we were told that CD's were invented there by the Air Force's Rome Laboratory. A couple of years ago I was going through a training class at NCR headquarters in Dayton, Ohio and they claim to have invented the CD.

I just disagree with Al's assertion (And Democrats in general) that the government should fix this. The government did not cause this, private industry did, have them fix it.

And they're going to do this without intervention and regulation?

Wouldn't the government have to step in, in order to enforce the industries to clean up their mess? How can the government be 100% hands off?

Not 100% hands off, but then again, not 100% regulation. We need a smaller government.

This coming from a man that gets his paycheck from the government and will continue to get a paycheck from the government long after he retires.

Your point? I want a smaller government and larger military, so......

A large military is part of a large government. Where do you think most of the federal budget goes?

Here's a hero biscuit for stating the obvious that the military is part of the government, now go sit in the corner.

What's a hero biscuit? Before you bother to answer, the question was rhetorical.

You are the only one (that I know of) on this forum that gets a government paycheck. You are calling for a smaller government. Don't you see how ridiculous that is?

[Bentcorner]

One more question Patton, have you ever even worked for private industry?

[Guest_Patton_*]

Ok, since you are apparently unaware, I am a Reservist, on an Active Duty Tour. (Waits for the Laughter to die down).

I am on a Military Leave of Absence from a Private Industry right now. This is an employer I have worked for for 17 years. Next question.

I thought Philips and Sony hashed this out in court.

I'm only going on what you yourself said. When I asked you why you pretend to be a famous Army general and go around telling people that they are "dismissed", you replied that it was your way of honoring Patton and that you were in the military. Something like that. I didn't realize that you were also a captain of industry.

OK Back on topic.

I`m going to deduct .96Cent from my elect. bill every month. And send Allegany Power junk mail I don`t want. in those no stamp needed envelopes.
