"If the people of China want freedom and democracy, then they need to demand it from their government. Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google are not going to do it unless there is a profit in it."

And that is part of what's contributing to the breakdown of America. Businesses aren't citizens anymore. There was a time when a business considered itself part of a country, had a stake in the well being of said country. Businesses were citizens and neighbors. And many were good, if not great, citizens.

Now a business exists for one reason, profit. Profit is their religion. It guides all that they do. Nothing is wrong, immoral or unethical if profit is involved. If people, or countries are hurt by decisions a business makes, it's ok, as long as there was a profit made.

I don't expect businesses to do something that puts them out of business, i.e. unprofitable. It's my job to be a good citizen, not Microsoft's.
