We already have a solution for that. When a septic system is installed, a soil perc test should be performed. If there is too much water, the leach field should be placed in a higher area with the effluent pumped up. That's the purpose of the "humps" you might see in rural areas with high water tables.
You have one twisted, disgruntled view of religion. Creating schools is a bad thing? Do you criticize all bumper stickers, or just the religious ones? Who cares about selling bibles?
"Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly." - Matthew 6
I thought similar until I saw the numbers. Electric heat is one of the least efficient forms there is. For homes with gas heat, relying on incandescent lamps for their heating is just wasteful.
This is wrong. You are assuming a "space heater" works like an electric heating system. An electric heating system has inefficiencies due to losses in the wiring and ventilation system. With a space heater-- which includes a lighting device-- 100% of the energy that makes it to the device is radiated as heat or becomes heat once it strikes an opaque surface.
There was a very easily noticed drop in my electric bill when I switched over - especially in the summer due to the reduced heat load for the air conditioning.
You just finished telling us that lighting makes for an inefficient heating system. Yet, in your house you observed a large heat load caused by incandescents.
I have CFLs from GE that take a full minute to warm up, and the Lowes store brand floods take about 30 seconds. They have all been purchased within the last year. The Philips and Sylvanias are better, but they still take a few seconds. Needless to say, I don't buy GE anything anymore because it's all of this sort of quality and the company is in bed with the federal government.
According to the report, which is rather comprehensive, the air gap is about.03 mm and has a relatively low thermal resistance due to "convective mixing". As for the "boundary layer", this appears to be his source:

It was Democrats who imposed prohibition. Don't bother trying to tie any of these laws to one party, because you'll probably be dismayed to find that most of them were originally written by Democrats. TX was Democrat-dominated back when other forms of oppression such as segregation were in vogue.
I don't think it's been updated in years, but once the best NES emulator was called NESticle. It even had an appropriately inappropriate icon. I don't know what would possess a programmer to do that; it's juvenile enough that I was too embarrassed to personally recommend the software to anyone.
So you would like to prioritize this over other reasons to have an accident, like speeding, driving without corrective lenses, driving with an injury, driving while drunk, and driving while sleepy?
I LOLed, because my old high school friend is a trumpet player and he admitted to me that he had played while driving before. The scary part is that he drives an 18 wheeler.
TMI is pretty much an example of a good reactor design. Multiple operator mistakes were made, yet no one was hurt or killed and the second reactor is still online. That's a design that's almost as outdated as the Japanese reactors, too.
Are you really this stupid? Obviously, from the GP poster's response monogamy is expected in his relationship. Thus, having another sexual partner IS A BREACH OF THAT TRUST, the same as in your outdated "free love" scenario if all the parties involved were not notified so they could be aware of the pregnancy and STD risks.
"stealing from people by force to build uneconomical and unreliable power sources" As opposed to stealing from other people by force their countries' fossil fuel resources you mean?
This is such a stupid straw-man I can't even believe I'm answering it. Assuming we're "stealing" someone fossil fuels right now, what is to stop anyone from "stealing" the raw materials needed to construct alternative systems?

Resistive electric central heating is generally less efficient than a heat pump, and much less efficient than gas heating.

If you buy $1 incandescents, you're kind of loading the debate I think. How is a $1 CFL comparable in quality to a $1 incandescent?

The law was supported by both Democrats and Republicans so no, it's not "anti-Democratic".
Name them. Philips Halogena is the only one I've been able to find.

I totally sympathize with the luddites. After all, those ATMs took our jobs! And I can't figure out how to use an Xbox!

I have an uptight, Puritan (straw man, BTW) view on STDs and unwanted pregnancies.

No, the problem is privacy, Captain Red Herring. Would you like everyone to know when you defecate or menstruate, too?
