Thanks for defending Freemasonry, a lot of people bash it without realizing that the very tenets that our democracy are based upon are masonic, things that we take for granted like separation of church and state (which is to keep from a government imposed religion),the declaration of independence, the constitution, so many of the founding fathers of our country were Freemasons,and rom what I see they did a decent job at laying the groundwork for democracy.

That being said, on to the topic, that truly is some scary stuff, I am not a fan of the thought that in a democracy we "keep tabs on" people whose views are outside of the box, or deviate from "the norm",to me the whole point of having a democracy is so that people can believe whatever they choose.

You are welcome. The mostly-Masonic forefathers gave us the best government the world has ever seen in the Constitution. Some would say we lost our true government after the Civil War, which took away states rights to succede from the union and formalized the heavy influence of the overly-strong federal government.

I don't like the government keeping tabs on us either, but I personally think the reason they do so may be misunderstood. I think they may be doing so is because they know that currently civilization on this planet is going through an evolution on this planet from a type 0 civilization to a type 1 civilization. Here's a good video interview with theoretical physicist Michio Kaku that sums it up pretty well:

I think that because this evolution, there is going to "growing pains" associated with this change in one form or another of violent terrorist activity of groups that are against this evolution from happening. I think that the first sign that we are entering into this new era of humankind, planet-wide cooperation will be a massive deflation of some world economies, which may lead to a worldwide economic depression.

Many economists predict that this may happen in the next couple of years. I have been an avid reader of "The Economist" magazine and they have talking of this possibility for at least 10 years now. Mainly because of inflationary economics and massive debt of citizens and countries such as America. Another sign that we are evolving as a civilization is the globalization of business.

I think that they may snoop on fringe thought of society, because these are the people that are going to be the first to understand what the future may hold, but also because it is also where the most terrorist activity may come from. Mainly, because some of these fringe thinkers may only see one-side of what is happening get outraged and run with it towards violence against the populace or the government.

Of course, if someone gains power in our government that wants to be a totalitarian dictator becomes president. They may use these powers that the government currently has and use it to completely control and oppress the populace, but I think there may be safe guards against that type of thing from happening. That is the slippery slope to a totalitarian government that I was talking about.

Of course, if America goes into a depression this power may be used to stop rioters and massive civil unrest as well.

Personally, I don't like our loss of privacy, but it may be for actual good purposes in the long run. It would just be nice for people to think about the other side of the coin once and a while and look big picture. I know that is how many in the federal government see the world.

Who know it may not happen, if nothing else, we are living in a very interesting period of time.
