The End of the Industrial Era.

I found a comment on my site today, one so disturbing I deleted it immediately.  It was written by a liberal ideologue by the name of Bill Meradeia.  He has a personal diatribe blog over at the Post-Liberal Post, which is basically dedicated to destroying America.   The person wrote that I was enslaved by an archaic and esoteric ideology, and implored me to support Obama.  They said I hated progress and technology, that my words came from hate and fear.  They could not be more wrong.  I neither hate technology nor fear the future.  In our hearts we all may be sinners, but I do not fear the fate of man.  That page was written in the book of time long ago.  The only difference between me and my critics is that I can see where we will eventually arrive.  If I am a slave to my ideology, they are slaves to the machines that determine the status of their lives.  Take the cell phone.  A wonderful thing, making instantaneous communication a cheap reality.  This device has become a connection to the internet, a source of limitless information, games and music.  Address books.  Email contact lists.  Our entirety.  It has become a matter of personal choice; you are what you use.  But what happens when we lose this instrument, this small chunk of cheap plastic?  Is it not true that we lose a part of ourselves, through the care and attention we have lavished on our external souls?  How can they criticize me without knowing my true intention?  I believe in the inevitable.  What comes to pass from each new moment is not a matter of choice, luck, or chaotic chance.  You see, I do not merely question the path that America is on.  I cry out against a likely destination the rest are blind to.  Fight them here @ http://open.salon.com/blog/billmeradeia
