Yup John that is what I thought back in the 70s and ended up with 7 kids.

 

On google however, they want cake and eat it too. Imagine the US restricting same Chinese companies on same.

 

AMC content, imagine searching for Gremlin and it was banned by your government. :`P

Eddie,

 

'When in Rome'... :)

 

Actually, here's the thing: Google is fighting to keep what you and I search

for private, whether what we seek is legal or not. And our system is setup

so that Google can fight and perhaps win the case. Free speech, right to

privacy and so on.

 

In China, well, we all know the deal. So Google is faced with a choice:

Hold firm to US ideals and be completely shut-out of China....or get their

foot in the door by appeasing the leaders, then slowly help turn the country

around. Heck, the hackers will be on it like flies in no time. It won't take long

before China's leaders are powerless to stem the tide of change. But if we

can't get that first inch, we can't ever get the yard.

 

Meanwhile, we're all off to Wal-Mart to send our hard-earned US cash to that

very same country. 'Oh, it's just too inconvenient to be righteous!' Maybe we

should ponder ourselves before judging Google too harshly. >:(

 

Just another angle to consider.

Something to also ponder. Google is fighting the US government tooth and nail to not disclose their searches. However, they bent over backword for the Chinese government to exclude (yes, censor) many democratic terms like 'democracy' for instance. Think about that!
