Not only that, but since the Internet is essentially a Buddhist  
entity, it is constantly changing. Stay on a page long enough, and  
you'll often notice the advertisements changing, so even 'my' view  
differs from 'my' view.

Rebellious non-conformist that I try without success to be, I much  
prefer the search engine at http://ixquick.com/ to Dr Google. Ixquick  
doesn't save data on people doing searches, which means a) that it  
does not make assumptions on what you are interested in, and b) it has  
no data to give the Department of Homeland Security when it comes  
sniffing around wanting to know how many people who search for Quaker  
websites are also searching for information on how to use a cell phone  
to detonate a home-made bomb on a locker in the Pittsburgh Greyhound  
Bus Station.
