“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Once more, politeness becomes child’s play.

Aside:

If you have taken driver refresher classes, I have (to get a break on my insurance rates), you may have noticed that the instructors do not refer to automobile “accidents.” They refer to “crashes.” One instructor told me that this was a purposeful change in terms, to emphasis that almost all vehicle “accidents” could have been prevented if the driver or drivers, depending on how many vehicles were involved, had done something differently.

I hold that the same applies to shootings. A shooting may be intentional or it may be negligent, but it cannot be “accidental.”

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.
