   It seems to me that the virtual world in Caprica is a direct representation   
   of the internet here on current Earth.  Whether it is people doing ameteur   
   porn, stealing music, playing first player shoot-em up role playing games,   
   sexting (whatever the non-phone version of that is called), etc...   
      
   So, if Graystone should die for creating the online world on Caprica, who do   
   we lynch her eon Earth?  Bill Gates?  Heads of Intel, Google, Youtube,   
   Facebook, MySpace?  Is there one person to lynch or should everyone that   
   made technology possible be killed? ...yikes, that gets dangerously close to   
   the moral of the new BSG.

   Yep.
