Wikipedia is ugly

There is something ugly about Wikipedia. It has an ugly interface, it is full of ugly ideas (and it has an ugly future). It has ugly administrator functions and the concepts underlying it are ugly. Wikipedia reminds me of LA in the early 1990s. A big ugly blanket of smog hovered over the city because the urban landscape demanded that everyone needed a car. And because of some individualistic democratic ideal that everyone needed a car (and were too lazy to take the bus), then LA became so polluted that it was difficult to see the next bus stop. I found a better wiki. It's called xwiki. (It isn't as ugly).
