There's the right to freedom of opinion and expression and the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
I was a hater because I wanted recording functionality if I did not to subscribe to TiVo's monthly service. Most TiVo units do not enable recording (manual or otherwise) without the monthly subscription.
I wanted the *choice* between manual event programming for free or subscribing for season passes, wish lists, recording by name, etc.
I refused to buy a TiVo until Toshiba introduced the SD-H400 Digital Media Server.
The SD-H400 comes with TiVo's "basic" service for free. Basic service allows manual event recording (start, stop and channel like a VCR) and provides download of three days of schedules. Record by name, season pass, wish list, etc. are not included in the basic service.
Turns out a still subscribe to the monthly service for the extras. But I can shut it off any 'ol time and still have a useful unit....
If a person has been such a failure in life that they can't even afford or make sacrifices to own a barebones Internet capable computer and Internet access, I would prefer they not vote. These people do not have the intelligence or motivation to be trusted with the responsibility of electing officials to move our country forward.
If a person hasn't yet bothered to learn the basics of this "Internet" thing, I would prefer they not vote. As businesses, government and individuals rely more and more on the Internet to communicate, I don't want people who know nothing about the Internet to be trusted with the responsibility of electing officials that determine future Internet policy.
While I do believe that both secure Internet voting and traditional community polling places should be available, I believe increase in collective IQ and achievement oriented nature of voters from Internet-only voting would be a welcome result.

When will "Annoy Ultimate" be released?
Never mind our consumerist society.
People don't want to give up their SUV's or their PS2049's, or whatever other crap they don't need...
Whether you are too attached to your consumerist lifestyle to hear the facts or not is what the real issue is.
GeckoX is drowning in wealth envy...
It should read "Google committed to censorship."
Instead of anonymous goons, I think the Guinness guys should act this out instead...

Brilliant!
Check out the United Nations "Universal Declaration of Human Rights".

Sounds lovely, no? Read further. Article 29, Section 3.
"These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations."
There's freedom of speech for everyone until it's contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations...
