Health Care Bill 0

The Booman summarizes my reaction so I don’t have to:

Is the bill a piece of (excrement–ed.)? In one sense, yes, yes it is. It’s far short of what we’d do if we had no opposition. We probably could have done modestly better with some more smarts and a little luck. But ‘progressive’ means ‘incremental.’ You make progress, you don’t get everything you want in one fell swoop.

The post I linked to is the first of several thoughtful analyses of this weekend’s events in Congress. You can start with it, then work your way upblog.

Those folks who thought that President Obama couldn’t or wouldn’t play political hardball might should reconsider.

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.
