for example

	events := []types.Event{
		{
			Type: "app",
			Attributes: []cmn.KVPair{
				{Key: []byte("creator"), Value: []byte("Cosmoshi Netowoko")},
				{Key: []byte("key"), Value: key},
			},
		},
	}

can i search for all txs that has the key creator?

So by social intervention do you mean something like this:

1. Dump state to the genesis file
2. Remove inconsistent data
3. Restart the chain with new genesis file?

we are in the middle of designing a in protocol mechinesim to help handle this.

Oh thats cool, do you have a name for it yet?
