Open Heartland 0

In the Hartford Courant, Richard Brown and Ron Formisano argue forcefully that the term “American Heartland” is woefully misused when viewed as referring only to the Midwest and Plains states and, by extendion, their residents. Brown and Formisano posit that such usage ignores too many other hearts in the American land. They conclude

The Heartland does not belong to the right or the left, or to the Midwest only. Every American dwells in the heartland — from sea to shining sea.

I commend their piece to your attention. Follow the link for their reasoning.

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.
