Gun nut fantasies: Every city Dodge City, Every hill Boot Hill:

From the description:

According to a new study from Texas A&M University – the ALEC and Wal-Mart backed “stand your ground, shoot first” laws across the country do not deter crime like proponents say they do – but in fact cause more of it. The study’s authors argue that “stand your ground, shoot first” laws increase the chances of murder or manslaughter “by lowering the expected costs associated with using lethal force.”

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.
