[edit] problems with (super)majority decisions

By this standard, Wiki would have 'gone G.W.Bush' and claimed/held that Iraq had WMD's in the late 1990's early 2000 in the 'History of Iraq' pages and called all dissenters arguments POV and whatnot?? Or perhaps creationism soon will be considered science and evolution if the majority of US wikipedians think so ?? just a (scary) thought. :)
On the topic of majority decisions on interpeting reality it's worth thinking of something Asimov once said (allegedly):
"When people thought the Earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the Earth was spherical they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the Earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the Earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together."

Uhm. Just what's your point, and why are you trying to make it in this talk page? -- Jay Maynard 20:15, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

He's just trying to get a cheap shot at the United States and its government. Quite childish. Travis T. Cleveland (talk) 19:11, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Self Supporting?

The edit is being reverted. "majority" means "more than half." A "two thirds majority" then means "two thirds more than half."
