I am an old guy, with some knowledge of history, politics and art. My goals, upon joining Misplaced Pages, were to keep Misplaced Pages free from ], and to ensure that Misplaced Pages is not afraid to cross swords with "conventional wisdom" when it is false. I must confess that I have been disappointed on both counts. It is considered "un-encyclopediac" to "cross swords with conventional wisdom."

And of course, Hell hath no fury like the English-speaking press, when a political leader becomes, shall we say, inconvenient to the defenders of neocolonial arrangements. I have seen the ] of such leaders throughout my life, and since it is so widespread, it seeps into Misplaced Pages as well. Therefore, I took it upon myself to combat it, first in the group of articles pertaining to ], and then in articles pertaining to ]. I was temporarily successful in both instances. |
