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.

Someone ought to write a book compiling all the things in Obama’s America rationalized away with the trope, “Because … freedom!” Australia vaccinated its young girls against hpv because it eliminates a potential for cervical cancer down the line. It helped young boys too through a phenomenon known as herd immunity with the result that genital wart infections have been greatly reduced — the same virus. Anyway, not in America, it was invented here, but it’s been fought because … freedom! And plus the attached notion that immunizing young women against a preventable STD encourages them to be sluts.

There is segment of our polity dedicated to the concept of “Chuck you, Farley.”
They are a vile and nasty segment, but they are there.

If the GOP had been like it is now back when we were children no one would have been vaccinated for polio and people would be in iron lungs and walkers.

Well said. You have the topic sentence for a first-class rant there. I say go with it.
