Apologies. I'd be in favor of removing the first line, and decapitalizing THAT. I feel everything else stands as content.

- dang 8y agoI think you misinterpreted sgc's comment to mean that everything about the industrial revolution was bad. More likely it meant that some things, not all, were bad. Of course sgc didn't specify what things—which made that comment pretty unsubstantive. Still, that's no reason to go on a flamewar tangent.
