Disclosure

This policy is good as long as we have it posted. If we change our minds, we’ll let you know.

This site likely accepts one or more of the following: cash advertising, special interest money, sponsorship, government bribes, paid insertions, favors in kind, pork bellies, surplus produce, and/or other forms of compensation. In general, we follow no industry standards whatsoever, though we generally try keep things in good taste. We believe in being trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean (mostly), and reverent (at least on Sunday). However, we’re human too, and we are trying to build a family business here.

We’re compensated by sales from advertising (whether for our own products or those of others), so there’s a distinct possibility that our opinions might be biased. This site contains content, which might present a conflict of interests. In fact, that pretty much describes everything here. We, like you, have many interests that we try to balance moment by moment. We’re seeking self-reliance through entrepreneurship and cottage industry while trying to provide our readers with the best information possible. We always try to be fair, but we see things like we see them, and we don’t usually bother to mince words about it.

To conclude, we think that disclosure statements are quite silly (though entertaining to poke fun at). If you see advertising on a site, you can quite naturally assume that the site you’re perusing receives payment for their content or access to their readership. You can figure that out all by your lonesome, without the need of the owner egregiously pointing it out. People are smarter than the lawyers, government bureaucrats, and do-gooders like to let on. Use your birthright. Think for yourself. Void where prohibited by law. This site offers equal opportunity for satire. May cause drowsiness. Do not operate heavy machinery for at least one hour after use. Thank you, and good night.
