Maybe it should be called "the Ministry of Truth"

Wikipedia, that is. It makes one wonder how naive people can get. Like the engineers who created the internet, who just assumed that the people using it would only do so out of altruistic purposes, and what harm could a little pornography and fraud really do?

Wikipedia was based on a silly idea, that the latest edit is most likely to be more true and complete. Come on! This is the human race we're talking about.

I still like Wikipedia because it has entries on all kinds of stuff, but it has to pass the smell test. You kind of expect entries on famous people and politicians to be negative, so a positive story gets your BS detector clicking.
