Wickipedia Who? Oh, Why Wickipedia?

After reading this article, i was like who? what? and especially why? All i could think about is who has the time to engulf all this stuff. obviously the youth generation that don't have real jobs and a whole lot of time on their hands. Yes, sure i think a free online encyclopedia is great but if it is chop full of misinformation, then what's the purpose. If i have a paper to write, i obviously wouldn't seek out this resource. I guess the ad "free" is a charmer. But like the old adage goes, you get what you pay for and nothing from nothing does actually equal nothing. so my message would be help keep America strong and continue buying and utilizing the Britannica and the world book and keep families working. Likewise, visit our local libraries and read good old paper and ink media. Hey, something they just can't go and press "delete". Funny thing, when you press that key, it always asks, "are you sure you want to delete this item"? well, i guest those changers just deleted that statement too in their haste to falsify.

Then there the NPR Podcast of the smart guy (Virgil Griffith), obviously a techie that track the lies back to the liars, good for all, but not without suspect. You must see it with your own two eyes at: http://www.npr.org/templates/common/image_enlargement.php?imageResId=12823782

Gee, i think on this in several aspects. Companies changing information to give themselves a better picture. oh yea, why wouldn't they, it's a free site and "students" look for quick ways to do research, not particularly tied to the truth. But also, i rather believe what a company's annual report has to reveal because it's subjected to the FCC and other reporting rules. However, these days companies lie all the time and screw up many peoples lives. CEO should really be handed the death penalty just like the common murderer because rather than killing a few, these guys get away with a short sentence in country club prison for destroying a nation of people who lives depend on the stuff sent down the pipe. I can only say i can appreciate this article for the "not" of using it for reliability but for entertainment when i truly have nothing else better to do, and i expect that to be post retirement. in the meantime, i need truth.
