But i would also say that any politician or holder of public office who allowed his support/judgement to be swayed by anything other than the best interests of those he/she is elected to represent should be literally nailed to a wooden cross as being corrupt. Politicians in both Washington DC and i think even more so here in London seem to suffer a total loss of morals and intelligence once they have been elected to public office. As for the businesses like Google, Microsoft and AT&T mentioned and i'm sure plenty of others, If they at least had the balls to be honest about why they wanted a particular policy/law (i.e make more money), then they might gain a little more respect from the population at large.. even if only for their apparent honesty.

I really don't see the big deal, I think it's smart of Google to make sure Microsoft doesn't put them in some kind of legal stranglehold. With Google branching off into OS's, I think Google needs to up their lobbyist investments. It's the only way to secure a fair future. <em>Dustin Ma's last blog post..<a href='http://twitter.com/r34lRockNRolla/statuses/2894764298' rel="nofollow">r34lRockNRolla: damn iPhone has rejected Google's Voice app, that they submitted 6 weeks ago.

It helps put things into perspective when folks make a big deal out of their presence. Google is just like other businesses. They're not an uber giant trying to rule the world. I mean, really, their mantra is "Don't be evil." Would they disappoint us? (Please don't disappoint us, Google.) <em>jlbraaten's last blog post..<a href='http://www.bigpictureweb.com/top-8-best-free-audio-podcast-downloads-web' rel="nofollow">The Top 8 Best Free Audio Podcast Downloads on the Web</a></em> I like how you pointed out that Microsoft is spending twice as much as Google while AT&T is spending 3 times the amount.
