The Conservapedia makes it all clear

U.S. conservatives want the right to discriminate against minorities, reject science and repeal the law of gravity… basically, they want things simple.

Thinking is hard work… so, I guess it’s only natural that they’d have their own encyclopedia too. 

And here I’ve been agonizing for months over how to fit the story of the Mexican Revolution into 40 pages of text.  I tried doing it chronologically, but you keep looping back between Zapatistas adn Carrenzistas and Villistas and Woodrow Wilson’s foreign policy and… you get hopelessly lost.  Thematically, it seems to be going better, but my last version (literally cut and paste.  I printed the things, cut them up into paragraphs, spread them around the living room floor and scotched taped them into some semblance of order) is still a hopeless mess.  I finally put it aside for a time. 

Oh well… maybe it was a waste of time.  I should take the Conservative (or Conservapedia) approach:  Keep it Simply Stupid.  

While the links don’t work, it is quite a feat to get the ENTIRE Mexican revolution down to this entry:

The Mexican Revolution 1910 (1910-1920) was brought on by a disagreement between the people of Mexico and their dictator, Porfirio Diaz.^[1] It resulted in his overthrowing and flee to Paris, France.^[2] During his ruling, Mexico’s wealth was even more undistributed than it is today.
