Essay?
This is not so much an essay as it is the undocumented ramblings of the site owner. While it his right to put whatever notion that may bubble up through his consciousness, trying to dignify his musings by couching it as an "essay" stretches the meaning pretty thin.
The "law" isn't even proffered in a way that one can garner its meaning: "Conservapedia's Law is the observation that conservative insights increase over time at a geometric rate, as in 1-2-4-8-16-etc."
If this were a true law then would not all insights be "conservative" at some given point?
When (exactly) did the use of conservative insights begin?
Please, please, please, Andy...run for office again, I'm sure the voters of New Jersey could use a good Schlaughly. JodyP 22:32, 9 June 2009 (EDT)
