Boiling frogs

A frog put into hot water will try to get out as fast as he can. However, a frog put in cold water that is slowly heated will be boiled before feeling any real discomfort.

Well, that's the saying anyway. Don't know if it's true (and please don't try to verify it on some poor frog) but I think it is a correct metaphor on how people react to changes in society. Let's start noticing the bubbles in the water around us while we still can turn the heat down...

Google in China

A friend advised me to try two similar searches on Google in two different countries.
