An Uncomfortable Truth 0

Brian Greenspun, publisher of the Las Vegas Sun, looks at the Republican Party’s week-long struggle to select a Speaker and reaches the depressing conclusion that voters get what they vote for (emphasis added). A snippet; follow the link for his reasoning.

I differ with many of my colleagues who claim the voters don’t deserve this political malfeasance and deliberate attempt to destroy this fragile democracy of ours.

I believe we deserve exactly what we are getting right now. There have been no surprises. The entire country has known exactly who these people are and exactly what they want to do.

I know that it’s a depressing thought, but I think he may be onto something.

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.
