Saw an interesting talk about Google today (Saturday) on BookTV on CSpan2. This issue came up. When Google did go in what they did was put up a page saying the requested search result was censored when it was. Which no one else does. The Chinese government didn't like it but let it happen. Apparently Google used it's leverage to do what they could. The Chinese government is very pragmatic when it comes to keeping public opinion muted. They'd much rather is didn't need any muting vs suppression of any one issue.

If you always go absolute, you never get anything done. You vote for Ralph Nader or George Wallace. Neither gets elected and rarely do you get a seat at the table.

The real issue is if you get that "seat" will your ethics survive?

of casino merits.
