First of all - I think that all of us forum guys were on the terrorist watch list in the first place lol
Second - I'm not actually that surprised by this report. Democracy means that you are okay, as long as you stick to the traditional choices - either republican or democrat. If you stray off, then you become a danger to the established society. It's like that in many countries, and it has been like that here, but now they've made it "official".
I've always wondered about this so-called "democracy" thing. Everybody thinks it's the best form of government, and when somebody endangers it it becomes a nation-wide crisis. When did we establish that democracy is really the best way??? The idea of democracy was first introduced just a couple of hundred of years ago. Before that, for 2-3 thousand years, the primary form of government was the monarchy/dictatorship, and you know what - the human kind survived without any problems.
The idea of democracy has yet to prove itself as the best form of government.
