So what are you suggesting? Just trying to counter them in the media?
There is no sizzle to that idea. The Luddites are famous for their acts of
Eco-Terrorism. Perhaps if someone were to counter their Eco-Terrorism with
acts of Counter-Eco-Terrorism. Now *that* would be newsworthy!
But they are somewhat secretive, I suppose.
