Now Playing: "S.O.S." by ABBA
You really need to see some of the great examples of Google protest art that Michelle Malkin is collecting over at her place.

I had to borrow one of them. It's from Discarded Lies.

I'm not sure yet where I come down on this issue of Google in China. You'd almost think it was as big a deal as Nixon in China. But it may be that Bill Gates is right:

Bill Gates, the billionaire founder of Microsoft, took the rare step of standing up for arch-rival Google today as he argued that state censorship was no reason for technology companies not to do business in China.

The richest man in the world told delegates at the World Economic Forum in Davos that he thought the internet "is contributing to Chinese political engagement" as "access to the outside world is preventing more censorship".

All three of largest internet companies - Google, Microsoft and Yahoo - have been fiercely criticised by human rights groups for toeing China's line on restrictions of free speech.

It would be a mistake to believe, as pie-in-the-sky liberals often do, that such endeavors as the internetting of China must be zero-sum games. In fact, if we are to see a transition to normal human and civil rights in the Communist and Islamist worlds ---and that is what the internet can help realize--- it is only reasonable to expect that it would come incrementally.

An imperfect interface to the rest of the world? If that is how it starts, don't damn it too much; it is more important that is ends with complete openness.

And lots of hot Chinese porn.
