Google believes access to the free flow of information is increasingly critical, and have gone ahead in taking necessary steps to help those fighting for free expression around the world.

Google, the internet giant best known for its ubiquitous search engine, is venturing into teacher training with a hot new program that has educators around the nation fighting to get in. So far, about 200 teachers from around the country have been selected for intensive training in the latest ways to work the internet into daily life in the classroom. Teachers learn how to do everything from setting up classroom blogs to incorporating Google Maps, online videos and student-created podcasts into their daily lesson plans. Google pays for the training. In exchange, the newly-Google Certified teachers agree to take what they've learned back to their school districts and share it with fellow educators, including many who are struggling to keep up with their tech-whiz students.

The Open Directory Project is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web. It is constructed and maintained by a vast, global community of volunteer editors. The Republic of the Web The web continues to grow at staggering rates. Automated search engines are increasingly unable to turn up useful results to search queries. The small paid editorial staffs at commercial directory sites can't keep up with submissions, and the quality and comprehensiveness of their directories has suffered. Link rot is setting in and they can't keep pace with the growth of the Internet. Instead of fighting the explosive growth of the Internet, the Open Directory provides the means for the Internet to organize itself. As the Internet grows, so do the number of net-citizens. These citizens can each organize a small portion of the web and present it back to the rest of the population, culling out the bad and useless and keeping only the best content. The Definitive Catalog of the Web The Open Directory follows in the footsteps of some of the most important editor/contributor projects of the 20th century. Just as the Oxford English Dictionary became the definitive word on words through the efforts of volunteers, the Open Directory follows in its footsteps to become the definitive catalog of the Web. The Open Directory was founded in the spirit of the Open Source movement, and is the only major directory that is 100% free. There is not, nor will there ever be, a cost to submit a site to the directory, and/or to use the directory's data. The Open Directory data is made available for free to anyone who agrees to comply with our free use license. The Internet Brain The Open Directory is the most widely distributed data base of Web content classified by humans. Its editorial standards body of net-citizens provide the collective brain behind resource discovery on the Web. The Open Directory powers the core directory services for the Web's largest and most popular search

The massive dollars they would request from the general public on "research" would yield a very small, but ever-growing amount of progress. A "cure" would always be "just around the corner," but since their interest was in profits and income, not the health, comfort and survival of their patients, the "cure" would never come. They might also figure out ways to cover up the lack of progress in medicine by using creative statistics. Be Cure
