April Fools 0

I outgrew “April Fools Day” a long time ago, once I realized the most “practical jokes” manifest an undercurrent of cruelty.

Others clearly still relish the cruelty. All you need to do to see this is watch an episode of AFV. Scattered amongst the babies and kittens and puppies, you will see a sadistic need to humiliate others.

Dick Polman offers a list of Republican outreach April Foolery, more fool than April.

His examples illustrate that “undercurrent of cruelty” which I recognized so long ago.

I give you the Republican Party, the party of childish nastiness, the party for those who don’t want to grow up.

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.
