Neoluddites, time for a little meme-making
The times we find ourselves in, compare closely to the beginning of the industrial revolution. The promise of green technologies, still just a promise. And most of the neoluddites are too old to profit from them. So, they stick their shoes in the computer, hoping to jam up the works.

The right uses cute memonic devices, to shame the left. I think that flip flops printed with fox news, or Glenn Beck, used to wedge everywhere could be powerful. Seeing them in cracks everywhere in society, would rock. Hoisting them in rallies also. NEOLUDDITES, could set a tone, that would be sealed by the GOP actions themselves. Everytime they say that we cant afford it, or we dont like progress. Shoot them the NEOLUDDITE label

Help me get out this meme.

1. Neoluddites aren't exclusive to the 'right'
We have our share too.

4. Those who do no remember history are doomed to repeat it.
