>Capitalism and Communism both have wonderful theories behind them. However they both suffer one basic fault when placed into use. Humans control them! Therein lies the weak link.
Sure, it is impossible to build a perfect society with imperfect humans. Therein, it is my understanding, lies the role of religion - to educate human beings. Technical education is important, but it is really the spiritual (moral, ethical) education that makes a difference between a useful and a harmful individual. And between an "ever-advancing" society, or one that falls into disaster.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
