Rosa Parks:

As far back as I can remember, I knew there was something wrong with our way of life when people could be mistreated because of the color of their skin.

Marie Antoinette (allegedly) said, “Let them eat cake.”

Republican governors and attorneys-general definitely say, “Let them drink lead.”

Afterthought:

I think it not an exaggeration to suggest that today’s Republican Party has abandoned the concept of the “common good.”

Those Who Forget Ignore the Past . . . . 0

Past Sparky to Sparky: Hello, I'm from the past. I just time-traveled here from January 6, 2021. Sparky: Wow! But if you're me, why don't I remember doing this? Past Sparky: I dunno. Time travel is weird. Maybe one of us stepped on a butterfly or something. Best not to think about is. Sparky: Makes sense, What can I do for you? Past Sparky: I just finished watching Trump try to overthrow the government and I was curious how that worked out for him. Sparky: Uh, well. he might be president again next year. Past Sparky: What? How is that even a possibility? Surely he was convicted in the Seante after a quick impeachment and disqualified from ever holding office again. Sparky: Ah, yeah, no, in fact, McConnell just endorsed him for re-election. Past Sparky: Huh, well--I assume he faced federal charges for his attemp to subvert the election? Sparky: Yeah, eventually, but now that case is on hold pending a Supreme Court decision--most likelhy postponing the trial until after this election is over. Past Sparky: Okay, but with all that hanging over his head, it's going to be pretty hard for him to win the primaries, isn't it? Sparky: Actually, it's been super easy--barely an inconvenience. And he's polling slightly ahead of Biden in the general. Past Sparky: Well, this explains why you don't remember me. Clearly I've been accidentally traveled to a dystopian alternative time-line that we must avoid at all costs. Sparky: Sure, good luck with that. Past Sparky Two appears: Hey, guys. I'm from 2006. Is George W. Bush an international pariah by now?

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!).
