Do conservatives have no insight into how clingy they are and for no reason other than "clingy-ness?" At some point do people not become responsible for making intelligent decisions instead of "holding onto the past" just because it's past?)

AMSTERDAM: If you've worked in an office, you're probably familiar with the soft glow of fluorescent tubes drifting from the ceiling. If Europe's Philips brand is right, those lamps could soon be history. Royal Philips NV, the Dutch consumer appliances giant, said on Thursday that it has developed an LED light that will soon be far more efficient than the best fluorescents on the market. That should make it cheaper and greener, as well. 

It's a combination that will inevitably help the LED dominate the market for illuminating the world's workplaces , according to the global leader in lighting sales. In an interview with The Associated Press ahead of the unveiling of the new light, a top executive said the prototype LED is headed to mass production and will hit the market in 2015.
