What did Theodore Roosevelt attempt to do by enforcing the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890?

I feel that Mr. Roosevelt was a passive man, with a conscience. He knew that slaving people wasn't the way to get their trust or to letting them have a life on their own. They were idealist as well. Particular people were taking their ideas for their own and that was a problem that couldn't be settled. So to make it fair Roosevelt says you make it one way or no way, and you can not steal anyone else's idea.

Where did the idea of fair search come from?

FairSearch is a Washington Special Interests Group embarking on a public advocacy campaign to build public consensus in an anti-Google sentiment in order to build support for Antitrust lawsuits against Google.The businesses and organizations that make up (read: donate money to) FairSearch are all websites that provide search-oriented web services (such as TripAdvisor, Travelocity, Hotwire, Expedia, etc...). They all have an economic interest in seeing Google's competitiveness crippled via "Trust-Bust" in order to increase their own revenue. But, there's something funny here...Antitrust Laws have never been about thwarting anti-competitive behavior to protect market competition. They have always been about giving special treatment to inferior businesses unable to compete with the purported monopoly by destroying that purported monopoly.It's important to understand that the purported reason we have US Antitrust Laws are to prevent monopolies from forming, stop anti-competitive behavior, and thus encourage more competition to serve the public good. Sounds great, right?It's equally - if not more so - important to understand that the actual reason US Antitrust Laws were created was to give politicians a tool to protect their district's industries from domestic competition in order to get reelected. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 was confessed to be a sham by Senator Sherman (its sponsor) just 3 months after it was signed into law by President Teddy Roosevelt.Laws that allow the federal government to second guess markets or prohibit or delay sound business mergers and practices have no place in our market economy.
