Yahoo!!!

Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang was verbally lashed on by US lawmakers for providing Chinese government info which lead to a dissident's arrest. Oh well, what is Yahoo to do? To protect the identigy of one man... or losing the entire Chinese market? If Homeland Security asks Yahoo for info regarding terrorism, would the US lawmakers lash out again? Of course not. It's always easier to be judgemental of others..., but when it comes to ourselves, then those same standards all of a sudden no longer applys! ;)

Yahoo certainly should have more backbone..., set up a procedure in place in order to figure out what is the right thing to do..., instead of just give in to government's request. But anyway, I'm not Jerry Yang... and I'm glad I'm not him... and not in the spot light because of this. May God make Yahoo and China work together for the benefit of all who love God in China... or around the world!

Anywho, today's scripture reading was about John the Baptist. This guy was also a dissident in the eys of the authorities. He was also jailed... and eventually beheaded over the dumbest reasons. Even his cousin, his Lord, the Way, Truth and Life eventually got convicted by the authorities and eventually crucified for no good reasons. It's all pretty senseless at the time, but 2000 years afterwards, we can see more clearly that God allowed those bad things to happen for our benefit.
