Sarah is fine and Jim-Dandy. She's looking over my shoulder and wondering if you could miss the point of Wiki any more than you already have.

When looking ANYTHING up, you never trust any ONE single source without corroboration... Even the most neanderthal of first year university student knows that. (Or they should if their high school education was worth the powder to blow it to hell)

Don't think of Wiki as an encyclopaedia.... Think of Wiki as a library. A resource for finding sources, and sources of sources. Read those sources. Read every source you can. Then maybe, just maybe you'll have enough information at hand to form your own valid opinion on a given subject.

Or you can go to the New Age Book Store and buy some worthless piece of tripe from Rama The Medium, and swallow that tosh.

While you're at it, why don't you also teach it to your children, so they can also grow up to be blinkered, superstitious twits who'll also support charlatans like Rama The Medium.

Maybe they'll even become Scientologists.

I'll be teaching my kid how to think for him/herself, and how to beat the crap out of your kid when the teacher ain't looking
