In these difficult times, workers are discovering the
secrets of the economy. They're learning it isn't
impossible to produce without bosses or supply
themselves without merchants. But the workers
march without arms, empty-handed,
down this freedom  road.

Over the horizon sail the U.S. warships, preparing
to show themselves off the Chilean coast....

         --- Eduardo Galleano, Century of the Wind

1987 -- Reggae star Peter Tosh is shot & killed

1990 -- U.S. anthropologist Myma Mack murdered by U.S.-paid

If our world survives, the next great challenge to
watch out for will come... when the curves of
research & development in artificial intelligence,
molecular biology & robotics all converge. Oboy...
It is certainly  something for all good Luddites to
look forward to if, God willing, we should live so
long... Meantime...we can take comfort, however
minimal & cold, from Lord Byron's mischievously
improvised song,

        As the Liberty lads o'er the sea
        Bought their freedom, & cheaply, with blood,
        So we, boys, we
        Will die fighting, or live free,
        & down with all kings but King Ludd!

     — Thomas Pynchon, Is It O.K. to Be a Luddite?
