I guess the Founding Fathers were right: without a good moral compass there is no technology that can keep us headed in the right direction.
We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion . . . Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. - John Adams (first Vice President and second President)
Somehow the founding fathers already knew the flaws of mankind.
