Fantastic, though the whole aspect of lobbyists (corporate shrills whose sole job is to peer-pressure government officials) just irks me, as I'm sure it does others. Whilst companies should have a say, the general feeling of myself and again, I'm sure others - is that they monopolise the perspective of some officials. Then you have, `donations` and for want of another way of expressing that - it is just bribery and corruption with legal window-dressing. This only leads to angst in the populus, who end up rising up and acting in ways that get heard, but equally demonised. For example - Anonymous raised many fair issues in their days, valid points. Albeit in a way that was to some extent - extreme, but when you drive people to the edge and the fall off, you can't blame them all the time. Again, this is an excellent initiative and whilst Google may not be the worst offender, they are no angel.
