"If you own Bitcoins, you should prepare for the very real possibility that one day, depending on arbitrary state or USDOJ enforcement actions, you may never be able to convert your Bitcoins back to dollars"

Very unlikely. There are, today, many exchanges that run outside of US jurisdiction: btc-e, btc.de, btcchina, virwox, cavirtex, bitcoin-central, etc. Anybody in the world can sell bitcoins for something on one of these exchanges, then convert that something to USD.
