Not really a promoton,just a way to say a page out there really exists. Anyrate, this diary is by accident. I was looking up Harry Potter, which if I said is a subject taking a few knocks by the right-wing, would be an understatement, I wanted to look up Potter's connection to a tragic hero. That's when I got conservapedia. So what is conservapedia you ask, why its only "the trustworthy encyclopedia."  That's its slogan, set against a backdrop of the American Flag.  Once your on the page,you notice the difference quickly.  Wikipedia is for everyone. That's everyone whether you're black or white, boy or girl, but also Hispanic or Pol, or even the dreaded French.  Conservapedia is for Americans only, white Americans who go to high school and play varcity footbal and wear their letter jackets and go out with the prettiest girls, who are all cheerleaders. But most of all,conservapedia is for those Americans who have English as their only language.  Subjects, Wikipedia, by favorite subject, History, where there's subjects on John F Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Ghandi.  Contrast that with conservapedia, its mostly history of religious figures,  History of Jesus's impact on Western Civilization.  And if that wern't enough, there's the daily Bible verse on the frontpage. And like an infomercial selling kitchen knives, but wait there's more, if you go there today you can actually see history on this day.  On this day, Ted Kennedy tried to transform his car into a speedboat when he drove his car off that famous bridge and killed that now famous girl. 
But wait, there's more.  You also get the latest on Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama and John Edwards.

  The last time I saw this, was with MoveOn.org.  Us regular folk got MoveOn.org, maybe immitated but never duplicated. The idiot squad built MoveOff.org-That's a real site too. Which makes me think, if idiot squad was around the time of the cavemen, and the caveman invented the wheel, they would invent the square wheel, to compete-though unsuccessfully, with the original product.

  Finally, I feel I should take this personally, because I put a profile on Wikipedia that's still there-ironically a religious one-but I can't get past my good chuckle that this lame site provides.
