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.

See the mediocre people put in place in the government. He’s just had the nerve to speak out about the national strategy — Bombing Paupers — that others named years ago. Of course Bombing Paupers enrages the natives. So did strategic bombing. Just using technology to make it more allegedly precise and less bloody changed nothing. It’s the idea that you’re flying overhead, using your power to assassinate or wipe them out, trying to remove yourself from potential retaliations that does it. Plus, he doesn’t draw in the business connection. General Atomics gets more money from the taxpayer than the FDA. When you have one arms manufacturer that’s funded as richly as a federal agency, it will guarantee that the business continues to be grown.

Of course it will continue. If you look hinky, you are targeted. If you are targeted, you are a bad guy. The reasoning is inescapable.
Drones are inanimate. They do what they are told.
What troubles me is the guys who are doing the telling. When killing gets easy, it’s easy to kill.
It’s summertime, and the killin’ is easy.
Fish are jumpin’, and the signatures are clear.
The weddin’s tomorrow, the party is gathrin’,
The drones are a-comin’, the end is so near.

You’ve made some poetry. Maybe it’s ready for folk music interpretation.

It almost maps to the folk changes of Rollin & Tumblin.

Oh, gersh, I can’t win.

In my book, it actually is a win.
