Last night a news fragment that was frightening: London police are considering a crack down on smart phone use. The riots were self organized (as were the cleanup broom brigades the next morning) via cell phones, Twitter, and the like. It points up that freedom of the press and of speech and the right to bear arms have the same roots: the right to be taken seriously, the right to communicate one’s existence and pain and dreams. There is a human right to communicate, more precisely, a human right to seek fulfillment of the human need to be heard.
