The United Nations' Human Rights council passed a resolution Thursday declaring access to the Internet as a basic human right. The resolution received nearly unanimous support among the 47 member states, even from countries that censor the Internet.

A truly great democratic step towards further openness, freedom, and learning.

  2. Thanks for the update Drew! Great to hear from you. The car just couldn't do it, hey? I did have an issue where the spark plugs would die every once in a while and I'd have to replace them, but I guess you've tried the simple things already.

    Hope you guys are great back on that beautiful island there. Much love back at all of the family. Karl
