They don't - its not in the constitution last I checked!

But they also tell you what kind of toilet you can buy - it can only flush a certain amount of water for example.

Oh man, don't get me started on the toilet thing!!!! The only time I have ever considered smuggling was when I was thinking of driving to Canada and buying a real toilet

The only problem I have had with these bulbs is when I bought the n:vision brand. They are not so good. Had one blow out in less than one month of casual use.

Now I stick with some of the better brands and like it.

Does anyone have a website for the LED bulbs? Some of my less accessible lights might be better off with LEDs

Just my luck I would be the one caught and made an example of in court.

I can imagine myself sitting in my cell with my new buddy Butch.

<butch> So what are you in for? Murder, robbery, drugs?

<me> Uh I went to Canada and brought back some unauthorized toilets

<B> You went to Canada to smuggle and all your brought back was a ****ter?

<M>Uh well yeah, but these are much better toilets than you can get here in the states!

<B> Warden! I demand a new cell mate!!!!

sigh probably not worth it
