This is a personal weblog documenting my opinions and observations about life, current events, politics, and pretty much anything else that catches my eye. The opinions and observations expressed here are my own and not those of my employer, who will remain anonymous, or anyone else. I DO NOT BLOG AT WORK. THIS IS SOMETHING I DO AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN EXERCISING MY RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
The opinions expressed by those providing comments are theirs alone, and do not reflect my own opinions. If I don’t answer the comment it doesn’t mean I agree with it, it probably means I didn’t even read it.
I make no representations as to the accuracy, completeness, currentness, suitability, or validity of any of the information to which I “link” from this weblog. If you click on a link you do so at your own risk.
I make no representations as to the accuracy, completeness, currentness, suitability, or validity of any information on this site and will not be liable for any errors, omissions, or delays in this information or any losses, injuries, or damages arising from its display or use. All data and information provided on this site is for informational purposes only. All data and information is provided on an as-is basis. If you link back to me you do so at your own risk.
I post pictures in my posts. I try to give credit to the photographer/copyright owner of the picture if I know who it is, but most times I just pull them off of the web and there is no owner known to me. If you see a picture you took or own then let me know and, if you do not want it posted here, I will remove it immediately and apologize profusely.
I also cut and past in quotes and information from other sources (blogs, news reports, etc.) and I do so under the Fair Use Clause for what might be copyrighted work. In all such times I do my best to give attribution where it is due through linking at a minimum. However, if I have posted anything of yours that you believe I should not have or that I failed to adequately attribute it to you, please just email me and I will, of course, discuss the issue with you in the hope that we can come to a mutually acceptable agreement. And if not I will probably just remove it because I don’t want to deal with the hassle.
In addition, my thoughts and opinions change from time to time. That’s human nature. This weblog is intended to provide a semi-permanent point in time snapshot and manifestation of the various memes running around my brain, and as such any thoughts and opinions expressed within out-of-date posts may not the same, nor even similar, to those I may hold today.
Feel free to challenge me, disagree with me, or tell me I’m completely nuts in the comments section of each blog entry, but I reserve the right to delete any comment for any reason whatsoever, but especially annoying, abusive, profane, rude, or racist comments. So keep it polite, please.
** I cut and pasted various disclaimers I found to make this one. It’s technically plagiarism, but cut me some slack, it’s not a thesis or a novel for heaven’s sake.
