On OtakuBoards, Morpheus makes a post about a US law, that if it passes the Senate, will ban access to any site with user interactivity, including Myspace, messageboards, and possibly AIM, in public libraries, schools, colleges, and federal buildings.

Almost everyone posting disagrees with the law, and things seem calm except for a bit of whining until DoubleHex jumps in with support for the law. AzureWolf takes advantage to express his own support, and we have liftoff.

"If you are at the library and school because you can't go there at home, well, that speaks volumes, and something is wrong with you or what you are doing. Plain and simple."

A few more posts go by, then Retribution offers a tap with the cluebat.

"What do you mean it "speaks volumes"? That if you don't have internet access, you're somehow a second-class citizen? That if you can't go to MySpace at home, you're obviously some ruffian who should be studying more anyway?"

AzureWolf must defend his privilege. "Also, I think in 2006, it's safe to say if you don't have a computer or internet access at home, you are definitely "second-class" in the sense that you canot afford something so affordable."

"So, not factoring the hobo down the street who should be thinking about how to meet up with his friends instead of getting food, read my statement again and see what I really meant (i.e., why are you avoiding going to those sites at home? Are you doing something you shouldn't be and so have to hide it?)"
