I realize that I am in a subject that might not be encyclopedic, because it
is controversial, and I avoid it, however much I want the article to come
to my decision. If a torrent of verbiage and commercially, racially, or
ideologically motivated information has established a concept that is at
odds with a foundation, then maybe it does not require my attack. It should
fall on its own. If it seems to hav a life of its own, that is just the
nature of politics, where I do not want to be.
