None Dare Call It Terrorism 0

Alfred Doblin looks at the American disconnect: The implicit establishment consensus that home-grown white folks cannot be ipso facto terrorists, as they are not brown, so their murders, bombings, and other assorted rampages consequently cannot be called terrorism.

Yet after Roof allegedly murdered nine black people, there was no national conversation about the probability that loner white men — and they are mostly loner white men — are a menace to our society. Something is enabling these young men to become domestic terrorists, and it is not ISIS.

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.
