As you say, if you don't want it public, don't put it in a public place. It's annoying that Google is being mule headed about it's names policy, but I drank the cool aid years ago. So I personally don't have a problem with it. But I make sure (almost) everything I post online is appropriate. Occasionally I slip and get stupid. But that's being human. Nothing that's going to scar me for life.
Left field thinking makes me believe that major metros will fracture back into the small towns that they created city neighborhoods from. That will trigger a reexamination of township mapping, and a reduction of precinct politics. The NIMBYs will need to bite the bullet and accept the fact that unless they want to pay a power bill AND a power tax from the neighboring precinct town, they will need to put a power plant in.
OMG. That IS scary. Miku appeared just a few years back, and the story dates 10 years ago. Where the heck did we miss the warning signs?
