    Why do you hate people from Utah and Germany? I was reading your journal and you have negative info in there about Suse/Novell and IF I run that thru the gbulmash worldview filter it tells me you hate Mormans, people from Utah, and people from Germany.

    I don't have to know what type of law he practices (besides it it was a 'simple' form of law you would have said so). Laws are written for lawyers by lawyers. You can not look at the laws currently on the books and tell me they are simple.

    And, son, don't confuse the facts with prejudice and bigotry. When you have to fall back on those words it just shows that you have nothing left to debate on and wish to use emotion to win your case instead of logic and the facts.

    If they didn't have enought people to run the plant they could have shut it down till the strike was over.

    Blaming the strikers is just stupid as management made the decision to keep the plant running.

    he following introduction is from a publication by the National Electrical Manufacturer's Association (NEMA) entitled "Fluorescent Lamps and the Environment". This publication and a lot more valuable information can be found at the NEMA website devoted to proper lamp disposal called www.lamprecycle.org. An Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the publication can be downloaded from www.nema.org/lamprecycle/nemafluorfinal.pdf

    If you need more information about properly disposing of lighting waste click on the link at the left for "lamp disposal rules".

    Why Do Lamps Need Mercury?

    "Mercury is an essential ingredient for most energy efficient lamps. Fluorescent lamps and high intensity discharge (HID) lamps are the two most common types of lamps that utilize mercury. Fluorescent lamps provide lighting for most schools, office buildings, and stores. HID lamps, which include mercury-vapor, metal halide, and high- pressure sodium lamps, are used for street lights, floodlights, and industrial lighting. A typical fluorescent lamp is composed of a phosphor coated glass tube with electrodes located at either end. The tube contains mercury, of which only a very small amount is in vapor form. When a voltage is applied, the electrodes energize the mercury vapor, causing it to emit ultraviolet (UV) energy. The phosphor coating absorbs the UV energy, causing the phosphor to fluoresce and emit visible light. Without the mercury vapor to produce UV energy, there would be no light. A four-foot fluorescent lamp has an average rated life of at least 20,000 hours. To achieve this long life, lamps must contain a specific quantity of mercury. The amount of mercury required is very small, typically measured in milligrams, and varies by lamp type, date of manufacture, manufacturing plant, and manufacturer."

    "If lamp life is shortened, more lamps must be purchased to achieve the same length of service, and the number of lamps that generators must dispose will increase. How Much Mercury Do Lamps Contain? Based on a 1999 NEMA survey, the average four-foot fluorescent lamp contains about 11.6 milligrams (mg) of mercury. This number has been steadily declining as lamp manufacturers work to reduce mercury content to the minimum amount technically feasible without reducing lamp life. The average four-foot lamp today contains over 75% less mercury than the same lamp would have contained in 1985. According to the U.S. EPA, total global natural and manmade emissions to the environment are 5,500 tons. 1 Manmade sources in the U.S. released 158 tons of mercury in 1995. For comparison, all of the lamps sold in the United States in 1999 containonly an estimated 13 tons of mercury, of which only a fraction will be released as an air emission. Proper lamp disposal or recycling will result in keeping almost all of this mercury out of the environment."

    Having been thru about the same thing when Sunpoint Securities was closed by the goverment the answer will be No. But that wasn't in the same state and was a few years ago and the laws may have changed since then.

    We also had a few hours warning before the Federal Martials showed up so most people took their private things before the guys with guns arrived.

    It doesn't bother you that a country that has threatened to nuke Israel off the map is working on nuclear weapons? Most, if not all, of the current countries that have nuclear weapons are sane when it comes to there use - Iran and N Korea do not fall into that catagory.

    Perhaps you should read up on how they do things in Iran before you support them having nukes.
