Damn the Luddites. Full speed ahead!

And don't forget to tax them after you are through ridiculing them.

Funny how you want their money, not their opinion.

This is America;--the "Luddite's Opinions" are ALWAYS WELCOME, HERE.

But So is a full & Frank Discussion of the consequences of Their "Opinions!"

In the History of "Biological Creatures" on this Planet,--to "Involute, (to repudiate innovation, & to avoid "Innovation") is to Wither, & Die.

Most of Us in America want to "Press On--"!

Sometimes "Luddites" survive because a "Kind Soul" in an evolving Society chooses to "Protect & Harbor Them--", but, Usually, the "Luddites" in a Culture are "Run Over" by Technical/Sociological/Physical advances in the Culture.

Humans Preserve "Luddites" as a Cultural/Historical Legacy--to show future generations the Lunacy of such Views!

If their opinion wasn't heaping scorn on invention, exploration, progress, while rehashing disingenuous Luddite philosophies, there might be less ridicule.

Remember - it is our taxes too. Much better to invest it than waste it.
