Thanks Bill.

In this detailed essay you've helped confirm my very general, simplistic thinking re this dilemma. Your mention of cigarettes and AT&T---the debunking of "the science" behind cigarettes in much of the 20th century ("nine out of ten doctors prefer Camel") and the bust up of Ma Bell---gives historical hope that Google will eventually be brought to heel at the First Amendment.

Thanks for your instructive analysis, criticisms, expose, and especially for various potential solutions regarding Google and the search industry and experiences. I understand that Google has incurred significant legal setbacks and will continue to face scrutiny and constraints from Federal law enforcement. You shed considerable light on some dark ongoing problems.
