Reply #5: They were the folks who said the family & family values would be destroyed

[SpiralHawk]

when the Republicons of yesteryear forced them out of their independent cottage industries and put them in factories to work 12-hour days as wage-slave Proles in hoc to to company store (Ye Olde name for Credit Card companies).

The Luddites were absolutely right, of course, but since they 'lost' and since the march of technology has been inexorable, they have been a convenient whipping boy for industrial materialists ever since.

Now stop asking questions, shut up, and get back to work in your cubicle farm like a good little Prole.
