@amarand I think we differ there, despite agreeing with you that government and other organisations are woefully slow to address technological change. There are ways in which things do need to be regulated, and at it's most fundamental level, it comes down to a basic tenet of liberty, which, very loosely worded is something like: we should be free to do as we choose as long as what we choose to do doesn't damage someone else's ability to do as they choose. The cost of true freedom is restraint.
@amarand Which, I recognise is an ideal, and not wholly functional in reality. However, some sense of that as a part of the shape of things seems true.
