Even though I'm working 2 jobs to survive after being laid off in February of this year, I had to donate a small amount to Wikipedia. I HAD to because I use Wikipedia several times each day, researching topics for both of my jobs. The best thing is that Wikipedia provides essential info up front without me having to plow through tons of text - kind of a "just the facts, ma'am - Joe Friday" approach. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You make my life easier every day. |

I personally believe there is no greater cause than the sharing of knowledge, and Wikipedia embodies the spirit of this endeavor. Community driven and regulated, it is way for all of us, no matter race, creed or country, to share from the same repository...to drink from the same well. Once there is commonality of understanding, then all those differences that once seemed so important cease to be in the weight and scope of the sum of humanity. Wikipedia is that sum, that beautiful answer to the formula we have asked ourselves since time could be recorded: What does it mean to be human? |
