Google Announces Global Campaign To Legalize Gay Marriage

Here's my concern though. It's one thing to get involved in a nation's politics where one reasonably understands what the costs and benefits are. It's a very different thing to get involved in a global campaign.

What's next? Convince Japanese and Indians to do away with arranged marriages? Where do we draw the line?

Or are we trying to remake the world in our image? That strikes me as very dangerous.

The US has always been remaking the world to its image; it's not always intentionally, though.

Personally, it bothers me more that there's a MacDonald's in every street corner than Google's campaign, even though the former isn't intended to promote any cultural values.

Yeah, I don't like the global reach of MacDonalds too.

But you haven't seen the horrible excuse for American food that is Pizza Hut internationally...... I swear after you see the Cheeseburger Pizza and the Chicken Nugget Pizza you will never complain about MacDonalds again....
