Californians only.

Hello.

I have read in a certain Russian periodical that in California there is a robots rights group. It is a serious entity, much like NAACP or NOW, only for machines or robots. They believe machines "are people, too", thus they should get 8 hours shifts and humane working conditions.

Lunacy of this notwithstanding, does any one know that this is true? As believable as it sound, still, I want to check.

It is, after all California....It could be true but it probably isn't.

Being a native Californian it woudn't surprise what with the influx of Eastereners, etc.

Machines are people too? That is by far the dumbest thing I've heard. When are people gonna wake up and start worrying about important things.

Animals and pets are practically people too, why stop there, LOL! Only in California and Canada!
