The US Army drives a tank up to your front door. There is another at your back door. It smashed down the fence and roses along side the house to get there. 4 attack helicopters are flying overhead, and there is a platoon of armor-clad troops surrounding the house.

Your son is in Abu Ghraib, you think. Aren't sure. They took him away one night and you haven't heard from him since.

An officer kicks in your front door. 8 infantry people charge through the house, pointing guns at your wife and daughter. Find you in a bedroom, drag you out. You are cuffed and blindfolded, and sat on the floor.

And now the officer says,

"TB, we'd like to talk with you about changing your light bulbs to compact fluorescent. It's a great way to save energy. In fact, save you money. I have a 100 year contract here which if you sign binds you to using them or their replacement. It's a great deal for you!!!"

What are you going to do?

Exactly analogous, by the way.
