How many Cornies does it take to replace a light bulb?
None, light bulbs never burn out.
None, they'll think of something.
None, they've been predicting the end of light bulbs for a hundred years.
None, burned out light bulbs are a myth.
None, the Magic Hand will do it.
None, demand for light is falling.
None, we can make more money if everyone's in the dark.
None, there is a new technology and for enough money...
How many doomers does it take to replace a light bulb?
One, to open the curtains.

-- Abraham Lincoln, Fragment on Government (July 1, 1854)
