Welcome to my User Profile page.

I have decided to join Wikipedia because I notice that there are too many self-serving, and agenda-serving information censoring whores who would rather turn a 'FREE INFORMATION ENCYCLOPEDIA' into a beast of censorship, and information bottlenecking similar to the policies of that of China.

As a child I grew up reading encyclopedia's and had a collection of them, because of that I grew up with a wealth of knowledge, and knowledge is the cornerstone of my life. I personally, am very fond of my rights, and hopeful that my children, and children's children will be able to reach the depths of all information at their fingertips much as we take for granted today. No matter how NON-mainstream it may be. If we commit ourselves to 'mainstream' views only. We might as well say bye to Christopher Columbus and the New World, or Isaac Newton's 'Theory of Gravity', Galileo's astronomy, etc., etc.

Wikipedia is not, and should not be considered a 'factual' encyclopedia. So long as we 'source' articles on the basis of a 'mainstream' corporate machine or government(s) who adheres to agenda's itself, Wikipedia should never be taken as fact. Wikipedia on the other hand, is an 'open-source' encyclopedia and allows users to create and edit anything they so choose, as long as it follows specific guidelines.

Deletion of articles on the other hand is un-called for in almost any circumstance. Those who wield their illusionary power, and call for deletion of articles when it meets ANY specific guideline are not here to clean-up, but here to CENSOR. And in my mind, those users are the threats to not only our future, but our children's future, in having the RIGHT to look at all avenues of information, including alternative views. So grow some balls.

WIKIPEDIA is NOT FOX NEWS.
