<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>
