When I got up yesterday morning, my friend was quite put out by the newspaper story on the recent Supreme Court’s inane ruling against New York State’s restrictions on the size of religious gatherings in these viral times. (I would add that New York’s rules did not single out religious organizations; rather, those organizations desired to be excepted therefrom.)

I fear that my reply was most callous and included something about suicide pacts and Kool-Aid.

I cannot escape the suspicion that the they-call-themselves-religious organizations who complain about the limitations on gatherings are more concerned about collection plates than they are about communion plates.

But I’m just a cynical old man who’s seen too much of life.

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.
