Now you sound like John Ryan. I did it before you and mine is bigger than yours.If you want to paraphrase, retain the context. You're forever attributing ignorance and luddite thinking to others who disagree with you. My responses are simply to shut down your ad hominam attacks. If I wanted to indulge in a "mine's bigger than yours" contest, I'd pick something that actually matters. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
