I found this blogpost interesting. In that, the poster, Silverfiddle at the Western Hero blog, a Christian conservative is overthinking the logical and may be complicating this article far beyond what would be deemed "reasonable".

I also believe this to be a classic example of the Left's intent to overwhelm the reader, in order to throw up their hands and call for the help of an "all knowing" government to solve the dilemma for us.

I personally feel, enforcing the laws and the simple common sense the majority of Americans, or civilized society for that matter, are embedded into our consciense from birth.

Regardless how complicated the multi-scenerio clusterfuck in The Verge post may seem, simply multiply the enforcement of existing laws. Combined them with your own "consequence-guided personal accountability" and common sense. Regardless of how many hypothetical scenerios the left sling at you, the very best solution will always be found in the consistency of your personal response..

In my opinion, "laws are nothing more than entitlements to the government". And just like those entitlements to the dirt poor and the uber-wealthy, if you give them a finger, they want the whole hand.

But enough of my rambling...

Below is a few opening lines from his post. His entire post can be read here
The article being discussed is here.

I am a libertarian, but I am not an anarchist.  I believe in human freedom, but I also support our constitutional government.  I recognize the protection government provides society, even as I criticize it for being overweening.  Life is full of contradictions.

In the past, I have railed against government control of the internet, and I still predict that one day, no one will be able to do anything anonymously on it.  Even now, someone who knows what he is doing can find out who you really are, and track you down to your home.

I predict the day will come when we all must biometrically establish our identity at the on-ramp to the Digital Superhighway.  Would this be a good thing?  Before answering, please read this article from The Verge:
