(universal Internet is that human right)

I don't disagree that this might do a lot of people good.

However, if something is a right, you cannot buy it with money. If you can buy it with money, it is a good.

Therefore, universal Internet is NOT a human right. It is a good.

It's fine to give away your own money, but giving away others' is THEFT, regardless of the goodness of the cause.

"Universal health care" is also NOT a right.

Nor is universal food, cars, apartments, or cell phones. All of which the government provides.

At a cost.
