Lighting and lights
Over the
last few years the government has pushed us away from using incandescent
lighting and toward florescent lighting. In an effort to save energy and
possibly to make more money, they have gone as far as passing a law making
incandescent lights illegal. I remember my father and other people saying that
florescent lighting was not good to work under as it strained the eyes. It
caused headaches, made objects look unnatural and is unsafe to use because of
the Mercury in the light bulbs. It is funny how no one seems to be making these
statements anymore or asking questions about how safe florescent lighting is. How
do artisans work anymore if they are forced to work under unnatural lighting?
Does OSHA have anything to say about such things? There seems to be little if any
research having been done on the topic.
As a child in school I witnessed one
of my classmates go into a seizures as the result of a flickering florescent
light. How much the flickering florescent light had to do with my friends
seizure I do not know, but as a person trying to find answers about my own
headaches I cannot help but wonder what the possibilities are. My latest job
puts me in a office with florescent lighting and staring at a computer screen
for several hours a day. My headaches seem to have increased as of late and I
cannot help but wonder if there is some connection. In the last year I worked
at Amazon.com in Fernley Nevada, I remembered they were forced to change all of
their lighting because of the new law. This was also about the same time my
headaches begin.
Over the last few years I have come to
realize that our human civilization seems bent on poisoning itself to death.
That we seem to be repeating the same mistakes that helped bring about the fall
of the Roman Empire. There is some archaeological evidence that the use of lead
pipes and the degradation of their sanitation system may have been to blame.
Let us pray that our civilization wakes up and realizes the road that they are
now traveling down, is a dead end.
