I have strong philosophical objections to the concept of Wikipedia. For instance, I'd never rely on Wikipedia for anything important. If I'm trying to research Wall Street, for example, how am I supposed to know that a vandal hasn't been by in the past five minutes to perform gentle rape on the contents? Yes, vandalism is quickly reverted, but "quickly" isn't good enough when accuracy counts. And if you think people should have to check the page history for every article they want to read, my friend, you're living in an ideologue's paradise.

Also, I feel that with its mantra of NPOV, NPOV, NPOV, Wikipedia tries too hard to be everything to everyone. This doesn't necessarily condemn it to failure--Encyclopaedia Britannica, for instance, has been pulling it off successfully since the 18th century--but from what I've seen, Wiki articles tend to be Frankensteinian agglomerations of green-shit-red-shit. I don't know what can be done about this.

This place could really use a copyeditor.

I have been guilty of vandalism in the past, so watch out.

I'm already regretting my username; should have been Wikipee.

I really, really want to email this to another user. But it's not worth the trouble, and I'm not the belligerent type. So I'll refrain.

Based solely on your attitude, I bet you:

Supported Howard Dean.
Sympathize with Dennis Kucinich and Ralph Nader, even if you can't bring yourself to vote for them.
Rail against the Fox News Channel, even though you've never watched it for more than half an hour at a time.
Are single against your will.
Tend to care only about the events currently making headlines.
Are ashamed of your Jewish parents and overcompensate by making sure everyone knows how vocally anti-Israel you are.
Came of age to vote only within the past five years.
Think Michael Moore is a hero (as opposed to a smelly jumbo bag of digested Doritos).
Think yourself openminded.
Have stubborn acne.
Have less than 20/20 vision.
Have no idea how obnoxious others find your air of imagined superiority.

Hey, it's cool. I'm single too. Let's make out!
