Technology is neutral. ...with a dark side and a bright side. It demands new legislation. How are these subjects handled? Sex, Death, Taxes. And their offspring: Dating/Courtship, Socialization, Murder, Crime, Politics, Religion, Art, Entertainment, Economy/Social Classes. Note: Most problems could be solved by technology, but they aren't, and that's for one recurring reason: humans, like their chimp cousins, are bastards.
