The original Luddites were sure that wrecking the weaving equipment (and torching the mills) would end their fear and "bring back" the days of home weaving. Of course they were wrong. Mankind... will never go back. And Luddites, environmentalists, and whatever next new-agers come along... will always be with us. Fearful of the future and decrying science and progress.
You're all lecturing and no data. Where is the link on iron to oil?
And no, the luddites were not against progress any more than I am. I don't share their tactics of sabotage, but I do share a desire to shape my own future, not have it determined by others.
