QOTD 3

A caller to the Diane Rehm show (about 38 mnutes in):

My question is . . . why it is that our legislators can find a way to turn over $900 billion dollars a year to our Department of Defense to discover new and better ways to destroy people, yet there is a hue and cry from many of them over spending $900 billion over a 10-year period to help the people of this country.

There is no moral answer.

    I bet the caller didn’t get any answer either.

    Um…which hour?  It’s a 2-hour program.

    Was this a guy from Benton KY?  I just got an e-mail from the program director in Murray saying a regional call was picked up at about 10:35 (central time)

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.
