A letter to America from the LLF

1. Use only what you produce
2. Produce only what you need
3. Have nice day

1. What, and give up my PC?! Hey, at least I said stop after I learned how to use a PC and a cell phone. That's all I need, thanks. I refuse to buy or learn to use any more gadgets.

2. With my amazing lack of any practical skills, I can't even produce what I need. But in this Norwegian climate I would probably freeze to death before I croaked of starvation, so I guess that's lucky. Relatively quick way to go, at least.

3. Love you.

What, and give up my PC?!
As one of the founders of the LLF, I made my computer out of driftwood and sea shells. I built the thing using mechanical relays for the cpu. It was as big as a Walmart building. Then I used my Martian shrinkulator and shrank the contraption to the size of a match box and placed it inside a teak box with ivory keys. The soft ware is stored on a silvered glass disk and is read with a whale oil powered ruby laser running Puppy linux. Thus, I can be a Luddite and still use a pc.

I discovered mine, preformed, in a steaming dogshit bomb one crystal clear January morning in 1978 in the desert in Taos. I put it in my pocket and took it to my laboratory for a closer inspection. After weeks of study I realized that I had made a significant find for humanity. So I used it to send a desperate email to the world. The only response I received was from a forlorn tobacco farmer in Kentucky. Unfortunately he never identified himself- until today.

It appears these Luddites are not true to the cause. Is a letter mailing machine that might put a paper maker, pen and ink maker and postal worker out a job, OK.

That was covered in the LLF Communiqué No. 8, in Two Sections-

"Hear this, surly humans:
1. Take from the Earth no more than you need; return to Her all that you can.
2. Do not use wheels when legs will do. LLF."

If that actually covers it, you have a future writing US tax law. How much does a loop hole cost?

Communiqué No. 11

From the comptroller of Planet Ludd to the surly humans of Earth-

"Surly humans: Do not mash up your beautiful trees to produce a medium on which to write your stoopid records. Use your TDDs for that. Be happy. And have a nice day. Dr Crypto Néant, LLF"
