    <font face="Arial">Speaking personally,<br>
      <br>
      Frankly, I am getting tired of hearing this irritating mantra that
      far to many successful companies<br>
      are <b><u>inherently</u></b><b><u> evil and uncaring.<br>
          <br>
        </u></b>I am not necessarily defending Google, I would need
      significantly more evidence of their intent than <br>
      a speculative article written by someone who may very well have
      their own "agenda"<br>
      <br>
      I have little respect for people who spend much of their energies
      criticizing innovative & creative<br>
      entities who turn their creative efforts into success.<br>
      <br>
      Those who use their energies & efforts criticizing &
      chastising  should spend less time moaning & complaining &
      more of this time working towards effecting <br>
      positive change  <br>
