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 good news is that time is going to inexorably bury them. The bad news — it’s not happening quickly enough. Yet.

Rebel used to be a perfectly fine word. Now it means a headache because it’s always from the same demographic.

Nothing to add to this.
My ancestors wore the gray. I can appreciate their memory, while realizing they were wrong, wrong, wrong.
At Harper’s Ferry, there is a portrayal of one of them (Henry Alexander Wise) as he signed John Brown’s death warrant. I still remember Second Son’s abashment and embarrassment at realizing that his forebears were on the wrong side in every way imaginable.
