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.

The first is the Robert Rector/Heritage Foundation talking point. I’ve noticed every recent news story reporting US Census data on spreading and ubiquitous poverty in this country now must feature at least one two calls to Rector and Heritage in which some manner of explanation that the poor aren’t really poor in this country because they have a big tv, most probably flatscreen, a cellphone and an Internet e-mail address. This serves the additional purpose of passing of the Heritage Foundation as an agency that digs up actual facts and numbers, like the Census bureau.

Yeah, only thatched huts and mud floors need apply.
It is most distressing how reality is not part of the narrative in Wingnut World. Of course, it’s missing because the facts lean left, so wingnuttery must craft a fantasy world.
