   I'm happy with the toilets.  Probably later models.  Figure they help   
   keep septic drain field dry.  But, I don't need somebody holding my hand   
   or pushing me to make my decisions.   
      
   CFL's are a good example.  I'm in favor of them in fixtures kept on for   
   long periods of time but those in the bathroom often last only 6 months   
   because of short term use.   
      
   Point is that one size does not fit all and that is the problem with   
   government over regulation.
