*The public's deep suspicion of the [[Holoband]] as discussed on ''Backtalk With Baxter Sarno'' is mirrored in real life Earth over worries of the Holoband's presumed predecessor in the Colonies, the Internet. Much of the same issues of parental control, the youth losing its way on it due to, as the adult public sees it, nefarious forces are much the same as the public worries of the net on Earth in [[wikipedia:First World|First World]] Nations, particularly with [[wikipedia:social networking|social networking]] sites. This | *The public's deep suspicion of the [[Holoband]] as discussed on ''Backtalk With Baxter Sarno'' is mirrored in real life Earth over worries of the Holoband's presumed predecessor in the Colonies, the Internet. Much of the same issues of parental control, the youth losing its way on it due to, as the adult public sees it, nefarious forces are much the same as the public worries of the net on Earth in [[wikipedia:First World|First World]] Nations, particularly with [[wikipedia:social networking|social networking]] sites. This phenomena is called a [[wikipedia:Moral panic|Moral Panic]] when a new powerful trend that generates anxiety in a population, mostly among the middle age adult and older as they worry as to the effect on the new cultural touchstone on children, teenagers and young adults; in particular adolescents. Past Moral Panics have included video games in the 1980's through the early 21st century, [[wikipedia:Hip Hop Music|Hip Hop Music]], in particular [[wikipedia:Gangsta Rap|Gangsta Rap]] in the 1990's, Skateboarding in the 1970's, [[wikipedia:Rock 'n Roll|Rock 'n Roll]] music in the 1950's and 1960's, Comic books in the 1950's. Such panics sometimes involved congressional investigations such as The [[wikipedia:United States Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency|United States Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency]] in early 1954 to investigate the Comic Book industry over what it saw as very violent content of detective and horror comic books. This lead to the voluntary adoption of the industry created [[wikipedia:Comics Code Authority|Comics Code Authority]] to police itself. Then the Congressional investigations of content in video games deemed to have a violent content in 1993. As with the Comic Book industry in the 1950's such concerns led the video game industry to adopt voluntary ratings rankings of video games such as the [[wikipedia:ESRB|ESRB]] rating system in the United States and Canada, as well as the [[wikipedia:PEGI|PEGI]] rating system in Europe to placate public and governmental concerns and to head off actual governmental regulation (congressional attempts failed due to First Amendment issues). [[Daniel Graystone]] at the spur of the moment pledged to take the profit motive out of using the holoband in response to public suspicion that it was somehow the holoband, which seems overwhelmingly "populated" by teenagers that caused Graystone's "troubled" daughter to blow up the commuter train. Graystone pointed out that it was because her daughter saw lack of moral direction on the Holoband that lead her to join the STO, not that it caused her to lack moral direction. | ||
* [[Daniel Graystone]]'s lie regarding the [[Zoe-A|Zoe avatar]]'s abilities will undoubtedly cause further strain between the Graystones. | * [[Daniel Graystone]]'s lie regarding the [[Zoe-A|Zoe avatar]]'s abilities will undoubtedly cause further strain between the Graystones. | ||
* [[Joseph Adama]]'s unwillingness to go through with the hit on [[Amanda Graystone]] is further indication of a loss of direction, and his lack of dealing with his grief.
