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.

He’s getting at the bigger picture — when fascism comes it arrives in a form unique to the nation. It’s the mark of stupid people who make comparisons to the Third Reich or the Soviet Union. Such people, and there are many, have no real idea of the details in these places, either, they just know it from fairy tales and B-A-A-D. America’s fascism is unique to the US condition, it’s very corporate and service industrialized. You retain the freedom to shop, if you have money. Corporate America is free to prey upon you in all other things, be it from banking to national security contractors keeping you “safe.” You have the freedom to shout and complain and say whatever you want on Facebook and Twitter and then vote for more of it or dumbly answer a poll that, yes, you have no problem with universal spying because you don’t have the nerve to say anything else to the pollster, lest you be perceived as someone, even anonymously, who might be with the traitors and terrorists. Polls in a place that isn’t really a democracy anymore, and where the polity is characterized by a high degree of individual stupidity and apathy, don’t mean a lot in terms of wisdom.

It’s because I am.
