What is a "real" source? Bill O'Reilly? Michael Moore?
The great thing about the anarcho-capitalism of the internet is that everyone chooses their sources of information, with whatever built in biases make them most comfortable. Some may actually take the time to investigate opposing viewpoints to try to form an opinion of where the "truth" lies. But all can choose.
The great thing is that there are choices. If Wikipedia becomes so biased and inaccurate that the majority of people no longer use it as a reference, it will become irrelevant. If it stays relatively clean (ie, as unbiased and accurate as any other definitive source on the internet), then people will continue to use it. It's all about Whuffie, baby.
Without choices and open solicitation of information, none of this is possible. (You want definitive - try the Chinese news services. You don't have to be confused about conflicting sources.)
Funny - I don't remember ol' Woody singing the words "U.N. Pussy" or "Right-wing Nut Job" in any of his performances, nor does it appear to be in the copyrighted text of the lyrics.
So the copyright violation is what, exactly?
This is clearly a parody of a song used in satire.
I hope they can get punitive damages in their preemptive suit.
Van Allen apparently struggles with the concept of "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."
Any number of catastrophes could occur which would wipe out life on this planet (or at least the human variant of it), from the uncontrollable (asteroid hits, neighborhood novae, solar instability, etc.) to the self-induced (disease, ecological, nuclear...)
Only one way to ensure humans survive - get off the planet and spread out. Only way to do that - human space travel.
Now, if Van Allen's argument is that the human race isn't worth saving, then let's have that argument. But to say the only reason for human space travel is "adventure" shows a critical lack of imagination.
In the process, a lot of bees die.
If too much time is spent fighting the bear and insufficient time on collecting resources for the hive, the hive dies.
Everyone loses.
When in the fuck did it become so fucking fucked to throw fuck in every other fucking word that the fuckers use fuck so fucking much that the fucking meaning of fuck loses all fucking definition and any fucker could use any fucking word to mean almost fucking anything?
