    To be sure, but between you and I, I'll bet I can go buy a car and get away
    without doing any of those things for quite awhile before being caught - IF
    I do get caught.

    So what's the story here? Government parenting is required in order for the
    Internet to continue functioning - to save us from ourselves?

    Even if this were true, which its not, it would be impossible to implement.
    The UN is, has and always will be worthless and that's about as close as
    you're going to get to an international governing body...I'll feel dirty
    just thinking about the need for such a thing...
