This website does not track you.
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.

It’s easy to understand the opposition, and the comparison to Bush reading a book, frankly, is silly.
It’s hard to believe that by reading a children’s book Bush could hope to encourage a certain line of thought in children. Obama has written a speech specifically for the children he’s going to address, and while it’s ridiculous to think that he would somehow attempt to brainwash these kids into being liberal yuppies, it’s easy to understand where the fear (and protests) stem from.
It’s dumb, but so is the comparison.

It is true that a speech by a literate person does not compare to reading a children’s book.
The comparison applies, though, insofar as both the speech and the children’s book are both about as innocuous as they can be.
I suspect that, if Obama were white, there would be not nearly so much complaining.
But there certainly would be some, as the Booman points out here:
These people are nuts.
