Agreed.  That really does sum it up, and well said, too.

I apparently love the purist vs. pragmatist debate (or I'm a glutton), but regardless what arguments are put out there 
the DSS nevertheless exists, section 6 of the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 
(http://www.motleymoose.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=1289) and all it implies is coming down the pike and all of it is part 
of a long-running trend of "not being left to fiddle this all out by ourselves" that we better get used to.  

Sure, worst-case-regimes could *make* you a little bit stupider but none of it is going to keep you from being stupid 
under your own power.
