Brent: Proud To Be A Luddite

Brent Andrews: I don’t “prefer” any computers, tho we use a Mac at home. If anything happened to Honey I’d let all our technology expire - the computer, the hundred channels on the Devil’s Eye, and subscribe to a couple more papers. If HBO ceased to exist I doubt I’d go on the Internet three times a year - except for work. Work keeps me on the Net too much. Dave’s right; I’m a Luddite. I’d buy the Unabomber’s couple of acres over in MT and fence it good and live in a shack and grow marijuana for a living, reading a few papers and ‘Lonesome Dove’ at my leisure, but Honey would never live that way - probably wouldn’t step foot on that property, even as a tourist. More below.

Question: Do you appreciate our technological times? Or do you wish we could go back to a slower time when electric typewriters were considered advanced technology?

She does not idolize Che, the Unabomber, or Sid Vicious. She doesn’t smoke marijuana or fume about the racist Prison Industrial Complex. She doesn’t read cynical books like ‘Catcher In The Rye’ or ‘Custer Died For Your Sins.’ She likes her Mac, her Facebook, her ‘Property Virgins’ and ‘House Hunters International.’ I like her so I suffer the media storm and don’t complain too much about it.
