Support Free (If Inelegant) Speech 2

Steve at ASZ.

Here’s a copy of my email.

Though there is no doubt that the editors of the Rocky Mountain Collegian could have expressed themselves with more grace, the sentiment they expressed was well within the borders of free speech.

And one shared by a majority of the American people.

Including this American person, whose son currently serves in Afghanistan.

    The protection of free speech is not all-inclusive. It can get you fired even when you contact calls for you to be irreverent and controversial. Just ask Don Imus.

    The kid is in trouble because of the loss of $50,000.00 in ads.

    I agree with him, though.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
