“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

I was taught that a “responsible gun owner” makes sure that a firearm is not pointing at a living being while it’s being “manipulated” (or, for that matter, at any other time unless harm is intended).

An investigation determined that the boy’s father “was manipulating a handgun in the living room of his residence,” (Sergeant Jason–ed.) Wall said in a news release. “His 7-year-old son was in the room as well when the firearm discharged, a round striking him in the area of his armpit.”

Also, one wonders what precisely “manipulating” means in this context. One suspects that it is “fondling” dressed up in Sunday go-to-meeting clothes.

We are a society of stupid.

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.
