    Default Wireless Internet Access is a Civil Right??

    In case anyone didn't already know that Gavin Newsome was a kook....

    San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who became internationally known for his campaign a year ago to legalize gay marriage, said on Monday he considered wireless Internet access a fundamental right of all citizens.
    Wireless access can be seen a basic right that should be available not just to business professionals but also lower-income citizens. "This is a civil rights issue as much as anything else," Newsom said.
    So, by extension, does that mean that having a computer is also a 'basic human right'? Internet access isn't much good without something to use it with.

    Just think of all those poor people out there being deprived their basic right to online porno.
