The part that always shocked me was the inter-community violence among the chimps: the patrols and the vicious attacks on strangers that lead to death.

Our information network is much better protected than our railroad network, and someone who cracks a system is able to cause far less human damage than someone who derails a train. Why, then, has 'computer crime' caused so much hysteria? Perhaps because the public is so willing - eager, even - to be scared by bogeymen.
