it saddens me when our "big"local newspapers only source is wikipedia.
seriously. how accurate can something that can be globally edited be? i mean, relying on the masses themselves for self correction? i dunno man. the masses have proved to make some pretty stupid mistakes in the past...
i'm just rambling incoherently. nevermind me.
*goes back to staring at the ceiling*
