What is third world county about?

THIS PAGE HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY A NEW PAGE AT http://www.thirdworldcounty.us/ Note: This blog, TWC2, has one overriding purpose: as a front page for all my "permaposts" at third world county such as this. While it may contain other information from time to time, its primary mission remains: as a "sticky-post" blog for TWC. The second set, "what do I blog about at TWC" is easy: darned near everything. Political and social issues and trends? Yep. Computer stuff? Uh-huh. Personal events in my life? Yeh, I do some "journal" type blogging at TWC, too. Music, books, other arts? Of course. Plain old silliness? Mais certainment, mon amis! Science and technology, philosophy and theology? Of course. IOW, as I frequently say, I blog at TWC to silence the voices in my head. :-) And then there are the other voices I blog about. What's going on in the blogosphere in general, sometimes, or specifically with blogbuds. I do not do this for the money. There is none, as far as I have ever seen. No one "owns"—or ever will own—or rents my words. Everything here is my observations, my thoughts, my opinions, pure and simple, except where I indicate I am quoting or referring to others' thoughts, words or deeds. And even then, I'll attach my own perceptiions of those thoughts, words or deeds, if only in how I present them. Anyone, and I do mean anyone, who attempts to censor TWC had better have a darned good right to do so. As far as I can tell, only Blogspot has that right. If the FEC or some other governmental agency attempts to in any way regulate my speech, I'll spit in their faces. And I might just mean that literally.
