I would go too...as long as I could take wireless internet with me! ;)

Maybe I am not understanding what a "Luddite" is. Is it just someone who enjoys the outdoors and wants to have some outdoors to enjoy and so is interested in preserving it? Or is it someone who thinks everyone should be made to give up the technology that they've come to depend on, whether or not it's practical?

Well, in the way I am viewing it, I have a fairly romantic image of it... get rid of all of it, and half the population so I can have some room to roam!

Luddites are anti-technology, some more so than others. Some want no technology more advanced than say, medieval level, others are comfortable with 'necessary' tech like medical equipment but dislike tvs and such. Sometimes it's just used to mean people who can't use/repair/understand technology in general.
