"why trust them to understand any other complex subject?" Because politicians do a great job, re: managing the economy, protecting social security, foreign relations, IP law, education, not inflating costs of all things medicinal, and just putting the public interest first, in general. With such an impressive track record, why not trust them to start inching their toes into the most complex, most creative, most free entity in the history of humankind? /facetious I'll be among the first to question Google's motives in the long term, but in this instance, I'll take Google's obviously-self-interested stance over that of a career liar claiming to act on my behalf -- by adding yet more legislation to an already immense corpus of unintelligible jargon. So no, I _don't_ trust politicians or any other bureaucrats to understand (or at least cogently react to) any complex subject, and I'm continually flabbergasted that so many people do.
