wiki

Okay, so apparently folks are dissing Wikipedia. I love the Wiki. I love direct democracy…Textual analysis tells us all texts–meaning anything written on paper or, now, written in a digital format–are tenuous at best. Of course it’s crazy to take anything for truth that is inscribed on any surface (see, for example, the Bible, copied and copied for centuries by monks in dimly-lit, poorly ventilated rooms, with squeaky mice running around spreading the Black Plague!).

Humans make mistakes, and I’m sure hundred of humans have made mistakes within the incredible openness of Wikipedia. God bless those mistakes! And some people are jerks and they try to screw things up for everyone else. Screw ‘em.
