Google was my BFF today!

What with the news of the GWB fiasco, the contaminated water in WVA, people being cut off unemployment benefits, the radiation mess in Japan, and a general feeling of malaise that kind of snuck up on me, I went searching for something I'd been curious about off and on for awhile. I found it on Google.

Charles Koch is 79 years old and brother David is 74. They have been behind what is so corrupt and wrong in this country. But maybe, just maybe, their dastardly, destructive influence is on the wane.

There is probably too many years of destruction left in them for my liking. Why can't they just live out their lives enjoying their spoils and leave the rest of us - and the country- alone?

There's now evidently a three step process to sign out, actually sign out, of gmail (or the Google-verse). They wrap many tentacles around you, forcing yet others upon you. I wish there was a "google-off" button somewhere I could go click and end their being up my $#! from the time I go online to the time I leave.

Exchasnfah!~

What the hell?!

Get off me, Google!

You really think any of their practices might change with whomever they pass on control to? No they're going to continue to try and make as much money as possible.
