Firefox browser to move ahead with ‘Do Not Track’ option

48. The free market will work it out...

...as it usually does. Nothing is forcing you to accept tracking information to help ad targeting, but identically nothing is forcing the people who are providing all these free applications to provide them to you, either. They have power bills to pay, after all.

So when I read hysterical posts about "laws will be passed" to forbid you from all ad-blocking by "corporatists" and other fictions from the fertile imaginations of prolific screed writers, I need to respond clearly that this won't happen. At worst, certain browsers will just be blocked from working with websites; more likely, they'll just find other ways of doing the same thing.

Again, "reality based" means based on reality, rather than fictions pulled from your posterior, which is a crackpot sort of thing. I've had this tagline mocking Rove ever since his execrable interview. I think it fits Republicans quite well. Alas, some D.U.ers seem to think I'm mocking them as well, which is sadly hilarious, as that leads to the conclusion that there is some little voice in people's head saying "maybe I really am being bit too hyperbolic - maybe Obama isn't really a fascist".

As for "Authoritarianism", that is a charge Libertarians level against Democrats, with more credibility than yours. In point of fact, I'm not telling you to LIKE anything. Rail all you want against the "big bad guv'mint". Wear that tri-corn hat if you want. Scream about the IRS (which holds more private info about you than the NSA does). Moan about all the potential abuse that could possibly happen, even if there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that it has. Lionize a guy who gave money to Ron Paul. Rant about how, to maintain privacy, we should not have any sort of defense systems or ability to track who paid what (necessary for any sort of tax system whatsoever). Please, be as insane as you want. Just don't expect all your over the top screaming and lying about President Obama to be free from fact checking, or other outright idiotic statements to pass without correction.
