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.

Did you ever see the documentary on him, Boogie Man? It dissects him and his tactics during the elder Bush’s first campaign. It is bizarre and often sickening. Atwater was a Ted Nugent-like bigot in that he insisted he wasn’t while playing the race card continuously. He played guitar and chummed around with old black blues artists who seemed to tolerate him even though they knew what he was doing. And he felt that proved he couldn’t possibly be a bigot. Then he got a brain tumor and in the losing struggle he goes on this piteous self-examination trip, realized indeed that he has been a horrible human being. And he begs and talks as if he’s afraid of what’s in store of him, that he’s sorry for all he’s done and then he died, badly. And when I was watching it I was kinda glad he died. It seemed fair. He made a mockery of decency, from the antic little white clown guitar playing routines at GOP victory parties, to the leeching on to famous blues musicians who get to be next to famous politicians, it just all makes you vaguely nauseous.

Didn’t see it, heard about it.
Black folks are long accustomed to putting up with white hypocrites.
I don’t know what’s worse, a sincere racist, or a white opportunist who trades on racism.
Well, actually, I do know what is worse.
The latter. The former is a fool and a bigot; the latter is a user of people.
