A dubious little diddy

The fortune program gave me a rather worrisome little poem I'd never seen from it before.

Despising machines to a man,
The Luddites joined up with the Klan,
        And ride out by night
        In a sheeting of white
To lynch all the robots they can.
                -- C. M. and G. A. Maxson


How worrisome. How true.

That's so cute. :)

Chris Claremont once impressed me with his ability to think like a fundamentalist Christian (in God Loves, Man Kills), finding quotes to support the Stryker's view that mutants were the spawn of Satan.

I've wondered if it would be possible to do the same with various other modern quirks, like robots, the internet, and fridges.
