Odd Socracy Questions Wikipedia's ad hoc Ochlocracy

What if the site were called Wikipedia.mob?

History teaches that people can run for a long, long time with a head full of gas, but sooner or later Reality hits them in the head and lets the gas out.

...at which point you're running on empty.

That's it. He's lost it.

No, that was actually vintage Jon, and clever use of catharsis/cathartic/Carthage. I think I'm pwned.

That bathroom wall poem he's riffing on*, is old. Steinbeck alludes to it in Tortilla Flat, 1935. I wonder how old it really is.

In my day the third line was "Paid a penny" which was in reference to the days of public conveniences* where one old penny was required to enter the stalls, one penny being a large amount of money.

I didn't say what the other lines were, before it was bastardised.

And articles like that normally go on to advocate massive governmental coercion in the name of saving the Earth, leading some commentators to regard "greens" as former "reds" who changed color once it was no longer "in" to be commie.
