I thought that wikipedia was made for the use of the public, but it is using the public (denying access to the encyclopedia to it) to promote the political agenda of a smaller group (the wikipedia community) instead. If the role of the internet is to concentrate resources, to put out of business alternatives, to command and conquer the masses, it's better to legistlate it away. I want my encarta disks back.

You're either trolling or a russian bot. No sane person can believe that Wikipedia is pushing a political agenda ("using the public" !?) to "put out of business alternatives".
Wikipedia is defending an idea on which the Internet and Wikipedia itself is build.
And the smaller group you refer to is a group of hundreds of millions of daily users.
