What is worse to digest: Corruption or the illusion of transparancy? Maybe someone should ask James Baker....
I've always wondered about the schizofrenic nature of capitalism that first juxtaposes big business vs. the little guy and then creates charity foundations to confirm the little guy that in fact he is so small that he needs help.
It would be interesting to see the birth of the first charity foundation that investigates how its parent donor is stiffling the competition of the same small guy that in recycled form is used to quell the desire of the donor to reach moral high grounds. This could give the small guy a real break. It should cost less too for everybody.
It should suprise nobody that charity has not brought Cambodia a search engine for missing persons and Malawi a booming IT industry. In general life expectancy rates might go up, but please do not wise-up the small guy too much. He might Bangalore back at you.
Maybe google is just a bit less hypocrite.
