Incandescents still have their use. For heating chickens, or in the bathroom (where the light is turned on for only a few seconds each time).

Incandescent vs. CFL; different horses for different courses. Too bad one horse will be banned from the USA (and Australia and Europe). But if the average person can't choose the right product for an application, maybe the choice needs to be made for him.

Remember, these are the same people that need warning labels that say 'unwrap candy bar before eating' and 'do not use microwave to dry wet pets'.
