"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

I wonder how much of this is fueled by Big Brother's desire to keep an eye on people? (That's a rhetorical question, by the way. Some petty bureaucrat must have realized that millions of poor people were walking about without personal tracking devices.)
The title of this article, alone, should serve to clarify, in most people's minds, the difference between "civil" and "natural" rights, unless, of course, one believes that simply because they are a member of the human race they have a just claim to a "free cell phone".
Disclaimer: This, of course, does not apply to individuals who believe they have no "just claim", i.e. "right" to anything.
