Arrrgh! I'm getting flashbacks to the infinitely nested quotes trees of the Elder DaysTM

... as in the RD.net forum :prof:
God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion. - Superintendent Chalmers

It's not up to us to choose which laws we want to obey. If it were, I'd kill everyone who looked at me cock-eyed! - Rex Banner

The Bluebird of Happiness long absent from his life, Ned is visited by the Chicken of Depression. - Gary Larson

I think Wiki (and Google?!) should simply produce a US only version - headed "US Govt approved Facts (Websites)"......but with with blank content......and then ask the US Govt to advise what Facts (or Websites) have been approved, so content can be added.
