Scary Smart or Big Brother?

Well today I pose this question, "Wikipedia.com...Scary Smart OR Big Brother?"

Today a friend of mine brought it to my attention that Wikipedia.com like the Great and Powerful OZ, knows all. To prove this fact, what's really scary is you type in my hometown of Prior Lake, MN and among the standard detailed description it also reads:

"...The lake attracts large beach homes that increases the wealth of the surrounding area. Add this with Mystic Lake Casino which is on the Shakopee-Mdewakanton Indian Reservation and operated by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, Prior Lake is one of the wealthier cities in Minnesota. As a result the students of Prior Lake High School have gained a notoriety for prevalent drug and alcohol abuse."

When I read that I started laughing followed by sudden chills. This is sadly accurate; especially the part about alcohol abuse. My graduating class had the highest underage consumption rate in the state and 7th in the nation. Which means they were all a bunch of lushes or they just happened to be stupid enough to get caught. At any rate, I luckily didn't fall into the PL trap and made something of myself.

However, we are missing the bigger point, which is Wikipedia.com knows too much and must be stopped! Go ahead type in any subject, no matter how obscure. Chances are it will know too much about it along with little hidden mysteries that should forever remain little hidden mysteries.

So is this just a helpful resource, or the tool of some secret covert organization watching us all, gathering information and going unnoticed? Probably not, I just wanted to sound like some crack-pot conspiracy theorist that I usually end up having to sit next to on the bus. Why is it that these crazy people don’t take showers? Well that’s a different question for a different day, I guess.

Seriously though, wikipedia.com, props to you my information brutha. I bow to your scary smartness and will feed your know-it-all ego with obscure questions from the far reaches of cyberspace.
