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.

By the way, forgot to mention the governor of Texas wants to ban ethanol in his state to combat high food prices. Somebody in Texas with a brain,what you know!!!

I know of another country where they fought high food prices by banning high food prices. Why didn’t he just do that?

That would be a violation of free hand free market economics. Some would call it pure socialism. May we address you as comrade Opie.

And telling people they can’t buy ethanol is not a violation of free market economics?

Making dope illegal is not a violation of free market economics because it causes harm. Same as using the world`s food supply to run our SUV`s causes harm.

Of course it’s a violation of free market economics. We make arbitrary restrictions on the free market all the time, and occasionally even for good reasons. Let’s not kid ourselves and say that banning dope or ethanol isn’t a violation of the free market; let’s just be more honest with ourselves and make a case for why it’s in our overriding interest to make such specific exceptions.
For that matter, there are some people who make a case that letting drugs back into the free market economy would actually be an advantage. I am not so sure myself, but I can tell you that many of the people who have made that case did at least think it through and know why they believe as they do.
