New from the I Hate Wikipedia home page is a public service commercial about Wikipedia from YouTube. It covers a few points others have raised. Also on page four is video clip from the Colbert Report about Wikiality. Let me see, reality is what Jimmy Wales? Ayn Rand had a few things to say about, didn't she?

"The foundation of Rand's philosophy is a thesis which has often been called "metaphysical realism," and which she calls the primacy of existence. It states that "reality, the external world, exists independent of man's consciousness...this means that A is A, that facts are facts, that things are what they are – and the task of man's consciousness is to perceive reality not to create or invent it."" - The Ayn Rand Society

      To me, the most stunning accomplishment of Wikipedia is to draw unto itself an apparently endless supply of Little Hitlers who voluntarily monitor endlessly the individual entries which serve as personal fiefdoms--as if it were their duty in life to stand sentry for ownership and censor even the most mundane additions to entries, as if they were in the employ of Goebbels and Co., protecting the Reich from gypsies, homosexuals, and intellectual Jews. No doubt in my mind that these volunteer editors are the types who watch neighbors through binoculars and learn to lip-read, just in case "relevant information" can be gleaned, information to pass along to the ruling powers, information to be used for possibly punitive measures in Star Chambers worldwide. Wretched, this phenomenon, a true harbinger of the negative zeitgeist of the dismal century-in-progress, part and parcel of Orwell's vision of the future: "A boot kicking a human face forever."
