I heard a new term this morning. CAVE people are 'citizens against virtually everything.' It was in the context of a story about a small, rural town that is now completely wired for the Internet. The most wired town in Minnesota, maybe the U.S. The reporter was talking to some of the few people who resist this development -- those who refuse and see no value in the Internet, e-mail, etc. This was side by side with examples of a Grandma who now can regularly keep in touch with her grandson serving in Iraq, and a cattle farmer who uses it to bid on cattle across the country.
I know some of these CAVE people. I would think it would be tough to live in their skin. It takes to much energy to oppose everything.

There is another breed of this type. CAVEP - Citizens Against Virtually Everything Positive.
I think there's one running the country at this very moment.
