Please read it. It's very long, but so worthwhile. QUOTE Whenever I read the pronouncements of Jimmy Wales, I want to slap the smug fuck. His recent article in the Guardian provoked no different a feeling. QUOTE Clearly, Wales does not read Wikipedia, which demonstrates very clearly that humans are exactly that [irrational captives to their background and identity]. Contentious issues are battlegrounds, on which people show no objectivity at all. Indeed, in Wikipedia, "objectivity" is measured by how much support you have.

QUOTE(The Joy @ Mon 7th July 2008, 5:55pm) Dr. Zen used to go by Grace Note (not gracenotes) on WP before he retired in disgust. Is that really the same person? Grace Note (unlike Gracenotes) was a fervent supporter of the odious BADSITES policy, and left this snide message on the talk page of my essay against it.

My one brother who voted twice for Bush calls me a "leftist". I hear where you're coming from, Dan, but it's not quite fair or correct to call me a "staunch capitalist". I do have these crazy ideas that the CEO of a company should not make more than 100 times the lowest-paid full-time employee in the organization. I think the current US average multiple is about 413x or something.
