    Depends on the king. There were kings poorer than the poorest in the current world if you dont what to use inflation.

    part of the problem with these types of states is that they can fire you for any reason, as long as they dont give a reason. If they give a reason than it has to be a valid one. Incompetence is a good one as it is typically hard to disprove, except when you just got a pay raise specifically for doing such a good job.

    Umm, where does it say that? Working for a public university in IT I regularly wipe my machine clean to install latest version of software and for testing. The public records laws require that I keep records of emails (which we have servers designed specifically to do that.

    You do understand the Constitution is meant to be a grant of power, not a limit of power right? And since the SCOTUS states that the rigths afforded persons are also granted to corps, if I like it or not, I would also say you are wrong.

    Except this is not a problem unique to just paid ads. When there are links like that there should be a process to get them removed. Personally I am tired of the protect the user mentality. Unless google is actually being deceptive, which I dont think they are, then stop trying to dictate their buisness.

    Actually a government is not free to set whatever rules it likes, atleast not here in the US. Even corperations have protections under the Constitution. You belive it is deceptive, and that your right to believe, but it is still an opinion.

    I never said that corportte greed coupled with government coruption fixes things. And no it is not akin to that, it is akin to if they dont like how they cant tell the differnce between the commericals and the TV show thy will switch stations, which is most assuradly true. But just like any relative thing, how much they like/dislike the things matters.

    Yes you are very correct. I still disagree that it is deception, since they are not actually being deceptive. By now you know how Google makes their money, unless you have been hiding under a rock.
