I avoid politics for my own health. I worked for a college newspaper writing editorials – ulcer city.

However, computer stuff raises a few of my hackles every once in a while, so I had to link to a commentary from Distrowatch. Skip down to the part about Google.

*Insert Pause Here*

I used to read Slashdot, but lately everyone has been posting about the lateset Google rumor. This year there have been two separate rumors about Google Linux. The spate of rumors emerging lately entitles Google to its own subdomain on Snopes. (Snopes is the website that debunks/verifies commonly held rumors). On a side note, a comment on Slashdot noted that Google was out to create its own religion. I thought it was hilarious.

On a further tangent of a tangent (yes there’s a term for that), I’m surprised that the Hal Lindseys of the Evangelical world have not declared Google as part of the rise of the Anti-Christ. First it was the Soviet Union, then it was the European Union (10 founding countries, ten horns of the beast…). Google was started with a ten point philosophy, maybe they are the incubator for the anti-Christ. (Fear Google Italy.)
