Choosing the Dark Side 0

The Washington Post’s slogan is “Democracy dies in darkness.”

The same newspaper that once famously shined a light on the misconduct of Richard Nixon has chosen not to endorse a candidate for president (or, to put it another way, has chosen to go dark) in what might be the most important election since 1860.

Dick Polman offers some thoughts as to why the Post has chosen darkness.

I commend them to your attention.

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.
