Oh yes, let’s leave power to those who know the best, they will make what is right for everybody. History heavily confirm this pattern.

amusing how it is nearly always someone in the in-group making this decision, that everyone else does not need or deserve access to something but i do as a member of this group. tale as old as plato “discovering” the ideal form of government was a bunch of philosophers telling everyone else what to do.

To be in the 'in' group you could always invest the time and learn how to use computers. We're actually a pretty welcoming bunch :)

How can my kid learn if she's not allowed to have a (non-"appliance", general purpose) computer in the first place?
