"We were sick of that VR mockery of the real school," one, Tiddly Redmore
said as he was being taken to Security for questioning. "Since everybody
and their dog are jacked in all day, we figured it wouldn't hurt to put
some dummy programs in our place and go play some ball during the day."

However, the boys were violating the 9 AM - 12 PM curfew, and will be
held under house arrest for the next week. Quote Tiddly, "Big deal,
we're stuck in there anyway."

The school review board is opening discussions on the validity of the
virtual schoolhouse next week in /buildings/edu/review/offices.

GLOBAL NEWS

THE WHITE HOUSE, TERRA. A march of a thousand supporters of AI rights
marched on the white house last Wednesday. Local police were sent out to
break up the protesters. Due to a confusing order from President Doofman
himself, the police accidentally opened fire, damaging several dozen of
the protesters, who are now recovering in several Red Cross repair bays.

"I didn't want them to slaughter the guys," Doofman said at a press
conference shortly afterwards. "See, I calls up the policy guys, and I
say be good chaps and let them have it. I MEANT the copies of the new AI
Civil Rights Bill I gave the messenger, but apparently the messenger
relayed the verbal bit before handing over the copies. So the police
shot them. What a mix-up! It's still like this that make being president
interesting. Was anybody hurt?"

"I don't understand why if the PRESIDENT himself insists on the AI Civil
Rights Bill that the Terran Council has refused to even hear it," quoted
AI leader Number Two. "He IS the most powerful person in the galaxy
according to law. What we need is to elect some artifical intelligences
to the council, which is why I am announcing my candidacy at this moment."

The council was unavailable for comment.
