I think that there are two ways to look at this. 1. Google is trying to impose American values on China. "We" have been guilty of doing something similar over the many years that this country has been around. Freedom of speech is something that does not exist fully in China and never has never existed on a large scale there. They have learned how to find a happy medium between being ruled with an iron fist and a free society.
or 2. Google is doing what is right for all people. This seems to be the general consensus in the western world. It pretty much works on some levels but when it threatens the status quo and the government it breaks down very quickly. However, we have enjoyed the fruits of freedom of press and speech for so long that we believe everyone should have it as well. It is good for business and good for humanity as well. I got Google's back. :) On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 1:55 PM, Martin Baxter <martinbaxt...@gmail.com>wrote: > > > It's a cyber-war, y'all! > > Question is, whose money will reach farther?
