This is the quote I envisage in a museum somewhere in 100 years (less?!) next to a picture of the Google logo and pictures of world terror.

Sure, Google isn’t that bad right now but who can say who will be at the helm in 20 years? 50 years? I’d like to put a bunch of school kinds in a room and let them play chinese whispers with “do no evil”…

War is Peace. One of the famous party slogans from 1984. The war on terror has already started. Anyone know when that war ends?
