Then I suppose it does no good to show our esteemed anti-State/antiwar/anti-socialist what our mascot has to say about his blasphemies: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Don%27t_abbreviate_as_Wiki_%28English_version%29.png -MuZemike --- On Wed, 8/19/09, David Gerard wrote: > From: David Gerard > Subject: [WikiEN-l] Gary North: "Wikipedia and Google Will Bring Down > Establishments All Over the World" > To: "English Wikipedia" > Date: Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 3:25 PM > http://www.lewrockwell.com/north/north747.html > > Blog post by a Mises fan.

I never knew you couldn't do historical research without a rental car, for example. Or that "decade" meant "period of a dozen years or so" (Google did exist 10 years ago, to be dully pedantic). It is certainly on the money in suggesting Google's book-scanning project might change a great deal. But not, I think, on how. (Large accessible collections of information tend to give an edge to those who already know what to do with them.) "The cost of writing history will fall." As Hexter wrote, bad history is not hard to write, anyway. "The gatekeepers can no longer control the flow of information." Hah, but WP admins can. Hahahar. We be the maysters now.
