That fantasy past (Atlantis) won't last too long. Because if the Crudd-ites
win, I am guessing that the human species will be goneski, within a few
generations. Low tech can't sustain more then a few million people. Not if
climate change has happend! And eventually, sooner then later, sayanara (sp)
Note: In my new anti-euro phase, I note with some glee that the heart of the
cruddite movement is eurpoean in nature. In the UK animal rights and anti-GM
smeggers, lead the way. In the USA, I believe such thinking faces a more
hostile environment; especially in our heightend awareness against terrorism
(however long this lasts), mitigates against support for crudd-ites.
