These are scary times, there is no doubt. but I hope in the end people focus on what we can accomplish, not just what we fear. Bill Clinton recently put it well…

I got there, but Firefox put me through about three layers of “the site’s certificate is not valid” security alerts and asked me to grant an exception each time.

Hmmm. For some reason it’s taking you to the https: version of my blog, which really isn’t necessary if you are just reading. I’ll look into it. Thanks.
