One to post "If politicians and their buddys didn't all own stock in light bulb companies, we wouldn't have to pay so much for light bulbs/lightbulbs/lamps and they'd last longer.

And don't forget the 4 moderator posts warning the posters to get back on the subject, and the Administrator to post that he/she is locking the thread.
"borrowed from a thread on another site where this subject was posted awhile ago."
