Here's a philosophical question...


[The more they know?]

Is it better to know, or not know?  Nebulous question, but let me get more specific.

Big Brother (sometimes insinuated as the government) already knows about many of the mundane things in your life; e.g., what kind of toilet paper you use, if you smoke or drink, if you go to the dentist regularly.  Which begs some questions: 

Should a government spy on its people?  If yes, how much spying should be allowed?  Where do you draw the line in FBI/CIA/governmental spying?  If you are innocent, why would the government spying on you be a problem?

Question:  Is it better to know about the nefarious elements of a society, at the cost of the innocent, than not to know?  Talk about that.
