BBC was talking about this this morning and the analyst they interviewed was somewhat of an apologist for Google, noting that the Chinese Government was already censoring Google's U.S. site in China. She made it sound like Google was trying to be a positive force in opening up more information to the Chinese. Nonetheless, it's hard to listen to that when thinking about the motivation that easier access to 1.2 billion Chinese (200 million of them already online) must pose.
I can't wait until they all join here. Then this party will really get going.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
