Very true. My point was you would expect it from the religious right. It
seems every thing that gets done thats worth anything they say, "If God
had intended many to fly he'd have given him wings" sort of thing. I
don't fing that humorous, merely sad. You wouuld have expected better
from the liberals to be more progressive, but no, they've fallen into an
eco-luddite anti-technology hole as well, and have made caricatures of
themselves.
