caveats
this is a blog. like all blogs it's filled with unsubstantiated garbage. i don't do rigorous checking on my sources. i just parrot whatever idea happens to appeal to me at the moment. some of my original material is blatantly plagiarized. and/or embellished. i of course believe that this blog is better than most in these regards. so there dear reader is your one and only warning. let it serve for all blogs. please approach this blog with the same sort of skepticism with which you should approach all sources of information of unknown credibility. in other words, think about everything you're exposed to. make your own decisions. and send all your money to me.
