Too many eggs in one basket there...it is a little frightening to consider.

When I do searches on Google, I often ignore the first or second page after glancing at them unless I am simply looking for a date of an event or some other non-contestable type of info...

I am totally against regulation except for one thing: The government to say there will be NO shaping or censorship in any way. And even that makes me squirrely.

I’m also not too keen on government regulation...but in this case the issue must be addressed or we’re going to have a permanent re-shaping of opinion by people who are - by their own admission - on one side of the political spectrum. That CANNOT be allowed - it is one thing to own 1 newspaper or 1 TV station and expound your views, but in this area it is like Google owns ALL but a few inconsequential papers and stations. They have the power to do quickly, what the educational system has incompletely done over the last 75 - 100 years. That is TOO much power concentrated in too few hands, and cannot be allowed to stand.

FYI, I would say the same if Google was owned by Mark Levin. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. The whole point of our system is to spread power out as much as possible, to let people make their own, informed, decisions about their lives. Google and its actions are the opposite of this.
