  Internet-Free Zones

  Historical patterns indicate that public opinion of a given technology shifts from "liberating" in the early stages to "oppression" in the end. Liberals have chronic complaints against our culture of cars, televisions, and plastic. Isn't it just a matter of time before college leftists begin smashing wi-fi transceivers to "oppose tyranny"?

    It's easy to blame the liberals for everything. This has been a common tactic used by talk radio hosts and other mindless republicans that have nothing better to do.
    
    The fact remains that this study is useless. In fact useless studies have become an international past time as well. I think it all started with the study by the US government to see how the sex life of a butterfly worked in the early 80's. Mind you, they spent ten million dollars to find out information they already knew.
    
    It was all down hill from there. It seems to have gotten worse since the advent of the internet though.
