So, the Chinese government is censoring the internet? This is where we are drawing the line? They can completely control their tv channels, radio stations, news papers and arrest and try journalists but we're saying "NO!" to censorship of the internet which is already full of crap anyways? I feel like this is ridiculous.

Pulling google out of china will only make it easier for the Chinese government to control the information that their citizens are able to see. We aren't fixing the problem, not even close. We're just making is so that we don't have to care. Which is what we American's enjoy doing. Something terrible happening in the world? Are people dying? Are human rights being grossly violated? Are people going without things they shouldn't have to go without? Ehh, not our problem.

Can we make money off it? HELL YES, WE'RE ON THIS SHIT. Some other motivating factors of American action are, Are they close by? Have terrorists ever been involved? And, Is there international heat to take action?

Uggh. *head desk.

Someday, kids, someday, we'll do something because it's the right thing to do. The outpouring of assistance in Haiti is a good start but we could still do better. Sigh, I feel older than I am at times like this.
