It's like, I totally understand from a rational point of view why Google does these things like censoring videos, censoring China searches, DRM on videos, but I know they know what's right and it seems like they could be doing much more to push for it. Instead it's more like they're taking the easiest way possible while just barely managing to stay on the "not evil" side of the line. Yeah they're a for-profit venture and they have an obligation to the shareholders and all, but they seem or seemed to be on "our" side more than most.. and I definitely give them major credit for refusing to capitulate to the government's ridiculous search subpoena.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
