Congress Made Wikipedia Changes
Dr Occult writes "BBC news is reporting misuse of Wikipedia by politicians for 'polishing' their images. The article on President Bush has been altered so many times - not just from within Congress - that Wikipedia's volunteer monitors have had to block further 'editing'." From the article: "Wikipedia says the controversy raises questions about whether it is ethical for those with a vested interest in the subject to edit entries about it. It said the Congressional computer network has been blocked from editing for brief periods on a number of occasions in the last six months due to the inappropriate contributions."
So, after all your long-winded pomposity -- your point is that it's hard to say what is objectively correct. Thanks for checking in!
Yep...just ask them when they're handing you the fries...
Or you could ask them in the court room when they are representing somebody sueing you.
Or you could ask when they tell you they've decided to lay you off and outsource your job.
It's funny but I tend to hear a lot more techies whining about unemployment and outsourcing than any well rounded people who know how to write and argue points (no, flaming someone about scripting languages on slashdot doesn't count) and actually have well developed social skills.
Seriously, it's more likely the fry guy has a Phd in CS but his job got outsourced to India than someone with an MA in philosophy.
One person's lunatic is another person's DNC chairman.
