Second level domains for individuals

    Can you give me one good reason why we SHOULD register
    private individuals? Just one good reason.
There is no good reason whatsoever. After all a domain
name is a purely technical thing, meant to be able to
cover a large number of people/hosts/sites. The term
"domain" by itself says enough already. Invididuals
being able to register a *domain* name violates this
technical principle.
Individuals who are denied a domain name often come
up with arguments as "denial of right of access to
the Internet", "right on a domain name", etc. That's
all bullshit. First of all there's no such thing as
a "right" on a domain name. Domain names should be
assigned or granted only when the technical purpose
is met, although I admit that in some cases that can
be difficult. And any individuals can get access to
the Internet by hooking up to a service provider.
The only disadvantage is that their e-mail address
and perhaps other "properties" change when they go
to another service provider. But that's no good
reason for violating the technical nature of domain
names and assigning domain names to individuals.
