Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt today said it was a “mistake” to support the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a group that has said human-created climate change could be “beneficial” and opposes environmental regulations. Schmidt said groups trying to cast doubt on climate change science are "just literally lying."

Google’s membership in ALEC has been criticized because of the group’s stance on climate change and its opposition to network neutrality rules and municipal broadband. Earlier this month, Google refused to comment after 50 advocacy groups called on the company to end its affiliation with ALEC.

    Live free or die is something they take literally, and their definition of living free includes being allowed to pollute the earth as much as they can if it's profitable.

    No, the definition of "living free" for them is the freedom to exploit anyone and anything for personal gain, fuck everyone else. Their definition of "living free" is the freedom to be the sociopaths that they are without any consequences.

    These sociopaths are a danger to everyone. People like these who don't understand that their rights end where others' bodies and well-being (emotional, physical, economic, and spiritual) begin need to be exiled. THESE are the people who need to be locked up, away from society, not the people that currently fill most prisons - people hurting nobody and only being punished for being in possession of a plant or other chemical.
