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.

$800,000 is a drop in the bucket, compared to what the state spends on having cops prey on our citizens as they drive to work each day.
Imagine if the State didn’t spend all that money on cops hiding in bushes with radar guns, and instead spent those funds on entrepreneurial, energy development projects.

As a driver, I rather want those cops hiding in the bushes with radar guns picking off the idiots, but I otherwise agree with you.
But it is something positive from a Republican administration. Perhaps a little positive reinforcement will lead to more. Successive approximations of the desired behavior and all that.
