Those Damn Cookies

Hi.  I was going to leave a comment on the website thanking you for the latest fantastic collection of delightful derrieres.  However, I discovered that I could not comment unless I accepted cookies from blogger.com that would allow blogger.com and its parent Google to track my movements across the website.  This must be a new thing that bloggre.com has imposed, and it is disturbing.  Having Google compile a dossier on my web viewing is a very steep price to pay in order to leave a comment!  What is the world coming to?

Please know that your work on the website is appreciated, even if our ability to comment online has become so difficult.

Hi John, Thanks for the note. 

WP has always required third-party cookies.I deem them harmless to my privacy. All browsers have the ability to delete all cookies at any time. Also to delete them when quitting the browser.

Good News: They ID me to websites like my brokerage, credit card sites, and of course, to WP. Beats getting a texted code to sign in every time I want to go there.

I selectively delete the ones I don't want every week or so.

We are all tracked by other means. You can be tracked by your IP address. If you use a VPN that helps, but you can tracked by the unique footprint of your computer.

There is no escape. 

Cheers Bogey

I left this part out. If you have your browser set to accept third-party cookies, you will receive a cookie when you see the first bare bottom on OBB. This true for most sites, such as Lowe's.

When you comment, WP wants to link your throwaway email address with the phoney bloloney name you post the comment under.

You should have one email address for personal business and another one for your kinky interests. They should not be linked to each other in any way or disclose your phone number.

So you already have a cookie. Comment or not.

That Delicious Moment

You may be wrong

I just don't feel much like posting. Blame it on the anemia I have, thanks to Leukemia.

I will share one quote with you from a modern politician.

Whatever you believe, you may be wrong.

Will Rage End Our Republic?

  

I have been thinking about how common rage has become.

I watched The Wire again. The first season was in 2002. It got a 9.3 IMDB rating. It's in my top five TV series.

It features violence, vulgarity, corruption, and public education failure: four aspects of modern American life. It has corner talk. The lowest form of American speech. 

This viewing I did not see the show as being about cops, drug dealers, corruption, etc. I saw it telling the story of how our culture is rotting.

Imagine a sewer overflowing. It happened in February in DC. Blockage can result in pipes breaking and sewage in the streets. The analogy I am reaching for is that our culture is being polluted from below. Only a few decades ago, women’s fashions migrated in mere weeks of announcement to budget labels. Now, ghetto fashions migrate to the runways.

In my youth, entertainers came on stage and said Good evening, ladies and Gentlemen. Now, grabbing the croch seems de riguer.

Children emerge from school as ignorant of facts as when they entered. This is because they are no longer taught by rote. Civics was discarded decades ago. Math is racist. The inability to write legibly lessens students’

ability to express themselves. Thank the two teachers’ unions for this fait accompli. [Randi Weingarten heads the American Federation of Teachers and makes over $560,000. Becky Pringle, the president of the National Education Association, earned over $500,000]

We have 20, 30, and 40-year-olds who do not know the three branches of government, who we obtained our independence from and how many moons the Earth has, and so on. How can they possibly understand what the older generation knows? They are prey to accepting whatever nonsense is offered to them.

Ben Sasse writes:

“You don’t pass along America in the bloodstream. You have to actually teach it. And we truly haven’t been doing it since the ’60s. We’ve ended up not doing the important civic-transmission work of explaining what America is, which is the most glorious governance project in all of human history. The Constitution is an unbelievable secular document to build a framework for ordered liberty.”

Every American kid “ought to understand how glorious the Bill of Rights is, and particularly the First Amendment. And we know that kids don’t know any of this.” When he first ran for Senate in 2014, a poll found that “something like 40% of American college students thought the First Amendment was dangerous, because you might use your freedom of speech to say something that hurt someone else’s feelings.” That is “the whole freaking point of America— that you can say something that hurts someone else’s feelings because words are not violence and violence is not words.”  

It’s a problem for democracy if people don’t have a shared reality, 

Kronos may have been all too human in allowing his ambition and rage to overwhelm every other emotion and consideration. He embodied an insatiable appetite that once unleashed would continue with inexorable and horrible consequences. It is a story played out over and over again in history as ambition becomes activism, activism becomes extremism, and extremism becomes authoritarianism.

“In a republic, you’re always only one generation away from the extinction of freedom.”  Ronald Reagan
