when will people realize that google is a monopoly like ma bell

Why is it that people have such a hard time understanding that google is not the good guy, but rather, sustained by huge monopoly profits, seems to lack the evil traits of most large corporations ?
1) the google search engine isn't that good. Don't compare google to the even worse loosers like yahoo or altavista or nothernlight; instead, think about what you would like in a search engine.
Does google deliver ? I know it sure doesn't deliver for me a lot of the time.

2) What about all those free services and wonderful new technolgys like google earth?
Google is a monopoly; like any monopoly, the huge extra money google earns can give it the appearence of a compnay that is interested in something other then raw greed; just look at the history of Kodak, or Polaroid, or ATT - they to once looked sort of paternalistic, untill they actually had to compete.
