[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5952867, member: 8835"] Given Nedjer's reaction, I am now truly puzzled. My post prior where I mention GAS is a direct reference to a current political party's strategy. Hence why I referred to them as the New Robot Order, rather than give them a name. to my eye, that comment leads to crossing the line. Oddly, instead, my point about Luddites has come up twice now. Is there a different movement going on or connotation to Luddite that I am unaware of? I just checked our friend Master Wikipedius: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite]Luddite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] My usage of the term refers to the modern usage, which is those who are opposed to technology in general. However, the historical reference seems to tie into opposition the industrial revolution due to the manual skills jobs it was destroying. I can see THAT concept leading to job protectionism, Unions, and some current politics. Without alluding to specific politics, is there anything else I'm missing? [/QUOTE]
