What the post intended to say was that monopolies should be
discouraged, because they can result in the companies withdrawing
your freedom, as it has happened with Microsoft.
Here is an article which shows that Google is set to overtake
Microsoft financially!

Expecially noteworthy is the "important observation" on why Google
will rise --- "It is a natural monopoly".
Let me re-iterate that it is not my intention to say that Google is
"evil" --- howver, as companies become monopolies they tend to take
the "either you are with us or you are against us" attitude. This
is road from civility (inter-operability) towards "evil"ity. ;)

Kapil.
