I am tired of dealing with children.
If I were merely speaking of actual children the statement would be accurate enough, but I’m mainly talking about people who are legally adults and yet continue to think and behave like children. For many years I have humored these people when I come across them, but that ends today.
When I was in high school, I—like all my fellow students—wasn’t allowed to use the restroom without teacher approval. My senior year, they tightened this already-ludicrous rule to allow only two trips to the restroom per week.
Some of you may know that I came very close to joining the Republican Party last year. I backed off (and have maintained my status as ‘conservative independent’) because of rampant moral inconsistency and fiscal irresponsibility among Republican politicos. Sadly, the Democratic Party has not yet provided a viable alternative—so I still find myself sympathizing with the Republicans as the lesser of two evils.
I’m pleased to announce the launch of Website 18, the eighteenth version of my personal website. This is almost exclusively a look-and-feel change from the previous version. I had a number of technological/usability improvements planned, but I will be implementing those along with a major CMS upgrade later this year (this will save me the double-effort of implementing new things now, then having to re-implement them for the new CMS version).
I’ve talked before about how badly we’ve muddled up the growing-up process in the United States, but I never looked at it from the parents’ perspective. Glenn Reynolds at TCS Daily, however, did the work for me.
