This bill is a great example of the "Brazil"-style bureaucracy (internet--tubes and all--yeah baby!), neo-ninCONpoop, Demo-i-can't-think-for-myself-cratic system we adoringly call (all stand) THE UNITED STATES!
It's another fear-based piece of dung law most likely prompted by some congressman/evangelist's belief that thinking types in this country still have light bulbs that pop on over their heads when a smart idea hits.Think tazers & SWAT teams because that is the tool they'll use to fight this War on Lightbulbs.
And those who think Uber-Man Ron Paul can save U.S. in a single bound are smoking some good Hindu Kush that they believe will soon be legal in all 50 states come Nov 2008. As bright a light RP is in the sewer pipes of congress, his impact will be a head-first run into an oncoming freight train of sheep who live for twittling nanny's titties.
He's got my vote, science help him though.
Reading a list of numbers while in a stressful situation is like asking someone to do a sukoku during a car wreck. The ability of the mind to speed up and slow time has to do with perception during the event, not performing a specific task.
A good example of slowing time arose during a discussion about hockey. Using Wayne Gretzky as an example, the reason he could make the plays he did was in addition to natural ability, the game moved slower in his mind. He was able to see plays faster and react accordingly because he had more "time" to process the events--his brain worked at a pace beyond his peers.
As Gretzky aged(and other players evolved with the game via both skill, technology and the advantage of youth), the game became too fast for him to play with the same advantage he enjoyed during the bulk of his career.
The evidence of this is when you take a very good player and put him in a game just beyond his optimal "time frame"--i.e. a game with better, faster players. If he can't adjust, his errors are glaring.
