2000 years  of brainwashing   is not easy to overcome ...........but it is possible.

The  truth is the truth  no matter what  religions teach.

If you  want  the truth .............STUDY  the nature of love .
What  brings  you  the  feeling of love?
The more  you  understand love the  more you  will understand God ............because God is love .

@resonanceman,

It's been taught for well over 2000 years ..

@All, others who've stayed relatively on topic,

Planned obsolescence isn't all together a bad thing, it's just  -- How short is the obsolescence going to be.  There isn't much distinction between neon signs and florescent tubes; I see these are different patents all of which are very old!

It occurs to me that, after having read the wikipedia entry, the use of CO2 to create light is probably one of the answers we need for what to do with CO2.  ...create light.

It's interesting that some of you say that it "burns up". ...for all practical purposes, what is that supposed to mean??  "burns up" is rather connotative.  ..having the bulb turn black on the ends is one thing - but is the lamp loosing gas or what?

I understand that if there isn't a ballast, the lamp would eventually begin to get hot and start using considerably more power - which is why there is a ballast in the first place.  What I don't understand is the idea of anything leaving the tube - isn't it supposed to be sealed?

IST   

EXACTLY 

Our culture  places  great value on  intellect .......and intellect has  its place .......but  intellect  can't  bring  happiness.
Money  and power  can ony bring  fleeting  moments of happiness  If you  search for happiness  through money and power  you  will always be seeking MORE ........MORE money MORE  power.

Becoming  more spiritual  is  all  about FEELING more love  peace and joy ..... If you  don't FEEL these things ......you  don't have these things..


The  human  race is on the edge of a great change ........ a change where we  cast off  the  corruption that has controlled  us for  century's.
If we can't cast  off this  corruption ...... the  human  race is doomed ......... we can't  keep going on  the way we have been going.
Finding   practical  energy  solutions is just  the tip of the iceburg ........ there are  many many  other ways that humanity s  killing  itself or  our  envirnment .

Well I've only told a few people so far that wouldn't laugh at me because they are my friends and family, ever since it happened my outlook on life hasn't been the same...Yeah call me crazy but less than a year ago I seen a UFO while I was waiting on a taxi back to the office outside a building ...I observed some details of the ships flight pattern that few have seen...I now know they're here...what can I say to those who have seen them and at the same to those that haven't...more of us seeing them over the years gone by can't be all crazy...can we?

Regards,
Paul
