funny site: conservapedia

I read an article about a website called conservapedia. It's a website that is designed to compete with wikipedia, but says things the way that conservatives would like to hear them. It's quite funny because it's supposed to be more neutral than the "liberal" wikipedia, however there is an undeniable slant. For instance, "war on terror" has an extremely brief entry compared to wikipedia, with no mention of controversy or public opposition to the war. The entry for George W. Bush is also similary glowing, with no negative or controversial statements about his presidency. When the entry talks about the economy during his presidential term, the only things credited are increasing CEO salaries, and doubling of oil company profits. Yep, that pretty much sums up the interests of the current administration! This is definitely one of the funniest websites I have seen to date. Even though I'm studying business, I really hope that I don't turn into an greedy elitist pig. Some sense of social equality would be great. I guess I could always go live in Sweden, but apparently it is very liberal and socialist (hence evil). Despite paying the same percentage of income tax, all Swedes enjoy universal health care, social services and free education. Sounds like socialism is really not working for those scandanavians.
