I think everyone should have all their public information online for viewing, including security cameras and email copies, but I also think who views that information should have to enter their name and a record be kept. I would support cameras in the home if that were possible to implement.

He's somewhat correct, the Aztecs had libraries and a philosophical tradition that fragments survive of, there was no system writing in North America, and there was certainly nothing to compare to the grandeur of Aztec architecture.
