“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0

Now it is Kimball Shinkoskey, writing at the Las Vegas Sun, who hears a rhyme.

She is responding to “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan’s statement on May 26 that “spreading lies about elections is free speech.” Here’s a bit of what she has to say:

America has arrived at the point Lenin took Russia to during the communist revolution there. Lenin said mischief in public speech was patriotic, because “Lying is justified by our objectives.” His objective was to overthrow the government there, and the objective of a certain political faction is to overthrow our traditional form of government here as well.

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.
