Problems, Questions, Answers: An Incandescent Bulb Burns Out

Contemporary Conservatism's Core Question

"How can white Americans be made safe from the threat of unacceptable economic, religious and cultural change?"

Conservatives could just as easily ask: "How can white Americans participate creatively in economic, religious and cultural changes that will happen as surely as night follows day?"

People - most notably people of religious disposition -- do not want to change (since the most important events have already taken place and we should now be in an imitative state, trying to perfect the design that is already in hand).

Recently, I had opportunity to recall conservative opposition to CFL light bulbs, coupled with resistance to government-measures that sounded the death knell for incandescents.

Recently it was announced that the production of CFLs will come to an end this year, making way for clearly superior LEDs.

History: The "spiral CFL" was invented in 1976 but it wasn't until introduction of the helical integrated CFL in 1996 that CFLs were mass-marketed.
