I don't either.

Google's purchase of DoubleClick is just one (recent -- last week) example in a long list of behaviors by Google that cause me to believe that the company will implode.

I've read what I can only describe as out-right deception in legal briefs filed by lawyers working for Google.

I can see, in online searches, the masses of poor-content web pages doing nothing more than hosting Google AdSense ads.

I can read, over and over again, comments from online advertisers complaining about how they are constantly fighting click fraud -- while Google is saying "it's a non-issue."

If you have time and are interested in the subject, read this commentary about Google's "AdSense for domains" program; read the links in the post (particularly the links in the timeline) about Google's "partner" Oversee.net -- you're looking at some pretty "slimy" business, and Google is in the thick of it:
