Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.
Published on May 4, 2005 By Dr Guy In Current Events

I have been clobbered at times for calling some people Luddites.  And one blogger was actually kind of enough to post the dictionary definition.

But the linked story is a better description of a luddite.  Here are a bunch of nuts that are after the FCC for allowing Cell phone towers and radio towers to be built because they 'confuse' birds!

Birds!  Gideon Macleish wrote an article that said that the 6 billion people on this planet are not over population, and in that I agree.  But did you know that there are over 2.5 billion birds in the US alone? Who cares if some get confused and crash into towers.

Luddites do.  They say that man is causing their deaths!  No Duh dipwads!  Everything man does causes the deaths of animals!  Itis because as we expand, we crowd them out.  Not completely, as I dont think a few wind towers and other sorts are going to cause any birds to become extinct.

But the death of any birds to these luddites is one too many.  No, but perhaps People are too many.  I can think of some Luddites that might be able to prove Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest if they would just follow their own warped advice.

Idiots.  They want us in bear skins (nope!  Cant kill bears) and caves (what about the bat displacement?).

What is a Luddite?

I am not now, nor have I ever been a member of the Ludite Party. I refuse to disclose the names of all those that were non-members with me as well.
If the court decides that I am guilty, I will proudly take my place along with all those that were falsely accused by the military establishment
God Save The Queen!

HUH?  I never called you one.  A bird lover maybe.  A lefty definitely.  But anyone with a motor scooter CANT be a luddite!  They would take your rascal and give you a wheel barrow if they had their way!

You take my demented sense of humour way to serious dear friend....

I personally never used the term Loony Ludite when referring to left wing activists. There are those in the left, and the right as well I imagine, that do alot of talking. Their talking, they think, takes the place of actually doing things. I always referred to these people as DILITANTS. They do absolutely nothing but talk.

Maybe this will force birds to evolve into super birds who are undaunted by tall objects...this could be the catalyst to something great for the fowl population. We're doing them a favor, really.

My Appologies.  The written word is so devoid of inflection.

And I agree there are loonies on both sides.  I think Michael Savage is a loony on the right!  But he is fun to listen to.  Yet the Luddites are the ones that are against anything that god did not invent, and so we are violating the laws of nature.  While there may be some on the right, the only ones I have heard of are on the left.  Left of Mao that is!

Where's that 'great one' button!  Thanks for the laugh!  I promise I will eat no bird before its time!

Put your left hand behind your back...
Now the same with the right hand.
Do they meet???
Same with the extremists on the political spectre...the left eventually meets the right...and guess what? They are both the same!

And I wont begrudge you your points!

Ah, Latour! Almost! But they live it, they do not push it! Big difference!

But thanks for the reminder!
