Through the Prism

After passing through the prism, each refraction contains some pure essence of the light, but only an incomplete part. We will always experience some aspect of reality, of the Truth, but only from our perspectives as they are colored by who and where we are. Others will know a different color and none will see the whole, complete light. These are my musings from my particular refraction.

You Have a Liberal Bias

I can't take credit for this one as I learned about it from Lewis Black via the 6/27 Daily Show, but it's too good not to share. The wonderful thing about Wikipedia is that anyone and everyone can contribute. I wouldn't rely on it as authoritative, but it's a pretty democratic process for coming to a general consensus about definitions; I'd think extreme biases would get hashed out and we're left with fairly middle-of-the-road information. But, as we know, our friends on the right don't much care for democracy in action, and they find the centrist mechanics of Wikipedia aren't one-sided enough. So in their insular wisdom, they've felt the need to create Conservapedia to counter the "liberal bias" of everyone.
