I have found that those who trumpet most loudly their own patriotism, those most likely to wrap their bodies in the stars and stripes (in violation of the Flag Code, by the way, but that is quite another issue) while waving the Stars and Bars–the flag of treason, for Pete’s sake–are also those most likely to reject the idea that “all men are created equal,” however imperfectly it might have been practiced at the time of the Founding.

Rather, they would will restore if they could can America’s original sin of chattel slavery.

I say this as one whose ancestors wore the grey.

I’m a Southern Boy who grew up under Jim Crow.

I know racism when I see it.

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.
