The REAL Napster

We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.
-John Adams

Hey Napster, "moral" does not equal "religious" when you use God to justify bombing other human beings:
