Quote of the Day 04/14/2011

When moonbats talk about rights, a concept beyond their comprehension, they are actually talking about tyranny. -Van Helsing


We were just talking today at work about some country in Northern Europe making this a law, and here Moonbattery is on the same topic.

Internet access is NOT a human right, nor even much of a privilege. IF you have a house AND IF you have electricity in your house AND IF you have a place to stow it where it won't be stolen AND IF you have a computer AND IF you have some telecom link to the rest of the world AND IF it would be of some use to you, personally, THEN you might have a case for saying you WANT internet access.

RIGHTS are enforceable against the government of your local jurisdiction. If (as is the most likely case) eventually the UN says camel jockeys in BFE have a RIGHT to internet access then they have the attendant rights to all the other stuff you need to get internet access. The USA pays the bills at the UN. This means: The USA must pay for third-world ingrates to have electricity, computers, internet access . . . because it is a RIGHT!

********

This comes disturbingly close on the heels of a proposed UN treaty giving everything else on the planet the same rights as people. Trial lawyers, policemen, and government bureaucrats of course being the necessary exceptions, all you exploiting humans out there can just kill yourselves for the good of the planet.
