Modern Luddism

I don't want to turn this blog into a series of links to Salon articles with redundant little "me too" tags. But this bit says what I've been thinking and saying for years now: The religious right are the modern equivalent of the Luddites. The difference between my position and that of the article is that the article seems to think we are already out of the woods and just don't know it, but I suspect things will get worse before they get better. The only thing of which we can be certain, of course, is that the Luddites will never surrender, and complacency would be dangerous.
