But I just saw James write (the part you neglected to quote): "The question
of which technologies are you for or against is absurd. Technology is not
political, its application is. The question of whether to use a pulley or a
lever has no political consequences. The social relations between the users
and the owners of the levers and pulleys do."
Seems to me your example perfectly illustrates his point.
