Google is the same "benevolent" search dictator that skews U.S. poitical searches and aids the Chinese Communist government's oppression of their people by blocking searches that might inform the oppressed Chinese people's quest for liberty.

Google dominates the search engine market, and Yahoo has been losing its share. If the deal goes through, the smart folks at Microsoft will present real competition to Google. Should Yahoo start to steal some of Google's share of the market, it could open the door for people to start using other search engines as well. If a spark could start in everyone's brain that there are other search engines beside Google, the fall of Google would at least be possible. They have almost a monopoly on the search engine market, which isn't good for anyone. It's hard to rank in Google. If some of the smaller players could grab a share, smaller companies (like most of us) might have a better chance to show up in the search engines. I hope this goes through.
