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.

Good Alternet post. You knew Sam Zell was a sociopath the first time you saw him “talk” to his employees. And everytime he’s on tv, much of which is on YouTube. If you’re a decent human being, you find him hard to watch, reflexively repugnant. Ugly and hateful just oozes from him. The only remarkable thing is how this is normalized by the people sitting around interviewing him. They just take it without blinking, many nodding their heads. Ted Nugent is another example. He’s pure sociopathy and, again, it’s difficult to imagine anyone not seeing it the instant he opens his mouth on tv. This leads you to thinking about why it’s become so accepted. It took three or four decades of propagandizing to get us to this point.

Well said.
Afterthought: As I realized years ago, in Republican World, wealth is the sole indicator of virtue.
