I am not a big government person, but I do believe monopolies are not good for the country. Google is becoming a monopoly. I think at this point in time, because of the increasing importance of the internet, terming Google a public utility and regulating it as such, should be enacted. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2017/08/30/zephyr-teachout-google-is-coming-after-critics-in-academia-and-journalism-its-time-to-stop-them/?utm_term=.590eabe15601 |

No, Google is not a monopoly. If you want to advocate for some sort of fairness doctrine when it comes to dissemination of opinions, fine. But there is no need to mischaracterize Google to do that. |

Recent estimates put the Google market share between 80 and 90%. Not quite a monopoly, but close enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Press_v._United_States

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |
