i haven't wasted any bandwidth *all day* so,
I'd like to point out that the Ludites where not anti-technology.
They were anti-loosing-your-job-due-to-technology. They didn't think it
was right that 10 people working should become 3 people working just
because a new machine was installed...
(and, I think they had a point. I think economists are all smoking
really good dope when they talk about mythical 'productivity gains')
No you missed the point. It's real simple! An employer's gain is the
employee's loss!
So be very aware whenever big businees (or replubicans) talk about
"gains"! It usually means that the workers are going to get screwed!
