It seems to be popular this week to bash google. I’m not grooving with it. Most people seem to criticize them for selling out by caving in to China and doctoring its search results. There may be some cognitive dissonance going on.

For those who would claim that google is caving in to China’s repressive laws, check the tag on the back of your shirt and the labels on all of the products in your home. Where was it made and under what conditions? Was it made with a concern for fair wages? Was it created in an environment that edifies and redeems man and shows a care and concern for creation? If your conscience is clear, carry on. We’re all in this together.

Google is living up to the story it lives under.

Few trends could so thoroughly undermine the very foundations of our free society as the acceptance by corporate officials of a social responsibility other than to make as much money for their stockholders as possible. This is a fundamentally subversive doctrine. – Nobel prize winning Milton Friedman

How do we expect them to behave? Where do you spend your life energy? Are your corporate officials doing anything different? I can’t say that mine are.
