If we Americans are so eager for cash that we easily cast aside our most basic freedoms, the freedoms our forefathers fought to maintain during many wars, maybe we need to rethink our principles.
Just google "Google" and "Microsoft" and check their quarterly profits: they are staggering. And both these companies and their leaders, especially Bill Gates, are justifiably proud of all the good they do in the world. But in the case of freedom of speech in Asia, and now apparently India, both corporations and their leaders have failed to take a stand that protects the rights of their fellow men.

We are pleased to join Amnesty International in speaking out for Freedom of Speech. Amnesty International announced an effort to increase Freedom of Speech awareness earlier this month.

Stifling freedom of speech will almost always fail. Men of principle cannot be silenced. They only keep quiet while the evil ones are watching. Or they seem to.

And in the year 2006, those stifled find a way to blog, text message and all the rest. And that's a good thing.
