Clearly, verifying the age of millions of kids is impractical unless the verification is distributed. Fortunately, we have what we need, the schools. Here's a poorly thought out approach. Each state board of education is granted a webkey to
<a href="http://yurl.net" target="_blank">yurl.net</a> (Where else?) that returns a webkey for each school district in the state. That webkey allows the district to obtain a webkey for each school in the district. Each school uses that webkey to get a webkey for each student. We could stop there, but people seem to like logins, so the student's webkey authorizes setting up a MySpace account.
