Someone once said of the Viet Namese War that the only way to end it was the declare victory and withdraw.

Lesson learned.

I congratulate Mr. Obama on the courage to sort-of-end George Bush’s Great and Glorious Patriotic War for a Lie in Iraq, but there is no joy. As Atrios points out,

The best part of Obama’s speech was the suggestion that lighting trillions of dollars on fire in the service of killing random foreigners was perhaps not the best use of our limited resources.

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.
