It Don’t Matter
Posted on May 12, 2012 by CHC   ᐃ ᐁ

Mitt Romney matters.  Barack Obama matters.  Antonin Scalia matters.  John Boehner matters.  Elizabeth Warren may matter.  Dick Lugar no longer matters.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad matters.  Benjamin Netanyahu matters.  Hillary Clinton matters.  Ayman al-Zawahri may matter.  Osama bin Laden no longer matters.

Beyonce matters.  Jennifer Lopez matters.  Prince William matters.  George Clooney may matter.  Andy Rooney no longer matters.

Your iPhone matters.  Google matters.  Facebook matters.  Kodak no longer matters.

Matthew 7:12 matters.  Aung San Suu Kyi matters.  Ghandi matters — “Through our pain we will make them see their injustice.”  Bill Gates matters.  The Pope no longer matters.

Dark energy matters.  Dark matter matters.  Quantum entanglement matters, especially to Alice and Bob.  Albert Einstein may still matter.  Cold fusion no longer matters.

I may not matter.  You don’t matter.  He and she (and it) don’t matter.  We don’t matter.  You still don’t matter.  They never did matter.

A Plug-in Plug

Facebook makes its money from on-line games, which I don’t play, and on-line advertising, which I don’t see.  In fact, I rarely see any ads on the internet, because I use AdBlock Plus for Firefox.  AdBlock is a free plug-in that is available for Firefox, Safari, Chrome and even Internet Explorer.  On rare occasions, I have to disable it to make a site display properly (most notably Gannett-owned newspapers) but this is due to non-standard web code, not the ad-blocker itself.

On the left is what you see when you visit www.nytimes.com — on the right is what I see.  I’m not sure why everyone doesn’t use this — it’s the internet equivalent of fast-forward.
