I have been a somewhat regular contributor to this site for the past few years since I am along time retiree with a interest in politics (and too much free time)and I share what I consider news.

I spend plenty of time on this site but I keep myself informed through the internet. It is quite understandable that many do not have the same opportunity as myself and that many inluding lurkers rely on caucus99percent. to be enlightened.

I'm linking an action alert from the EFF. If provides a quick and easy means to get involved on the side of sanity with respect to the runaway patent trolling industry.

This found its way to my inbox sometime in the last couple of days, about improvements to a good candidate information site. Posted verbatim:

My spouse and I recently watched the new HBO version of Westworld. My headline is a quote from the show. It is what the "robots" say whenever they are confronted with any form of facts, information, or piece of reality that they are programmed to ignore. For them, nothing outside the park exists, so if you show one of them a picture of Times Square, for example, they will look at the photo and say "It doesn't look like anything to me." Then they immediately forget it.
