That is the thing that people are concerned about. I know my time is up and will finish on this. The unfortunate thing is that often when one confronts this, the answer is that it is huge, complicated and moving faster than the human brain. At some point, we have to be able to say, "Stop". If it takes time, it takes time, and if it needs to be done slowly, I think we as legislators have a responsibility, not to put the brakes on it and be Luddites sending us all back to buying our own paper, but to ensure that those checks and balances, transparency, human rights compliance and so on are stacked into the law to protect people who may suffer an adverse consequence for it.
