Is it just typical of the human condition that as new technologies develop some of us will so desperately misuse that technology? What better way to "help" the world by convincing the lay public that a simple brain scan will determine the likelihood of an ex-con to fall back into old habits? I've been discussing this sort of thing lately with my barber at my weekly blood-letting. Bad humors be damned!
