Searches for Obama's birth certificate produce a link to a page showing the official document.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-86612076207066238592008-09-19T15:36:00.000+12:002008-09-19T15:36:00.000+12:00Do you think the fact that Al Gore is a "major" sh...Do you think the fact that Al Gore is a "major" share-holder in google might have something to do with their always pro-Left policies?<BR/><BR/>annon2, you make a great point. Google collects more personal info in one day than the govt. does in a year! Where are all those fools who are always whining about "big brother" having their cell phone number and thereby invading their privacy? Pro-left companies like google can do what they do because people are stupid and gullible!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-40367973403280155332008-09-19T10:12:00.000+12:002008-09-19T10:12:00.000+12:00I think Google runs google.I think Google runs google.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-80624294157021391782008-09-19T06:05:00.000+12:002008-09-19T06:05:00.000+12:00the names of the board of directors are open knowl...the names of the board of directors are open knowledge.<BR/>Their close ties to extreme leftist organisations somewhat less so, but are hardly secret.<BR/>Neither are their attempts at invasion of privacy and identity theft at a massive scale, far greater than any government agency would ever be allowed to engage in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-42253705968973969552008-09-19T05:45:00.000+12:002008-09-19T05:45:00.000+12:00Just exactly 'WHO' is running google and making th...Just exactly 'WHO' is running google and making these decisions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
