Information appears to stew out of me naturally, like the precious ottar of roses out of the otter.
Every fool aspired to be a knave
Give fools their gold, and knaves their power; let fortune's bubbles rise and fall; who sows a field, or trains a flower, or plants a tree, is more than all.
Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either—but right through every human heart—and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains… an unuprooted small corner of evil.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it. [1]

"It’s almost impossible to imagine life without Wikipedia"
"If Wikipedia is good enough for the Archivist of the United States, maybe it should be good enough for you."
"“If we want to get high-quality information to all the world’s population, Wikipedia is not just a viable option, but the only viable option.”
"Wikipedia is more important as an information resource than any other single institution. We need to accept that and figure out how to work with it."
"Wikipedia is the best approximation of a complete account of knowledge we’ve ever seen.
"It’s also the most robust. The most easily accessed. And the safest. It exists on servers around the world so, unlike the library at Alexandria, it can’t be burned down."
"At any given moment, right now, if you go to Wikipedia you're going to find the most comprehensive article on Barack Obama. You're not going to find it on the Washington Post or the New York Times, you're going to find it on Wikipedia. Why? Because all of these people care about information have gone there to edit it and re-edit it and add as much information as they can."
Jose Antonio Vargas, Reporter for the Washington Post
"Show me a PR person who is 'accurate' and 'truthful,' and I'll show you a PR person who is unemployed.
"The reason companies or governments hire oodles of PR people is because PR people are trained to be slickly untruthful or half-truthful. Misinformation and disinformation are the coin of the realm ..."
-CBS Legal analyst Andrew Cohen, The Flak over Flacks, May 7, 2009
Following the example of another Wikipedia, I'm seeing if I can write 2 woman's biographies for every male's. I'm sure I have a long way to go, but here is where I stand now (before I start the project).

The Owner's Name is on the Door
In an era of faceless organizations owned by other equally faceless organizations, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC harks back to an earlier era in the financial world: The owner's name is on the door. Clients know that Bernard Madoff has a personal interest in maintaining the unblemished record of value, fair-dealing, and high ethical standards that has always been the firm's hallmark.— Bernard Madoff (archived December 14, 2008)
