Subscriber Tab

YAAAHOOO! (I think).  Well I think I finally stumbled on it -- a way to put a tab on the blog page that allows anyone interested to be notified when I post an update (which is now not frequently, sorry to say).  It was there all along (of course) under the "add a gadget" link.  The tab(s) is now on the left side of the blog.  I thank those who tried to help me over the past couple weeks.  The problem I was having is that I am barely into the digital age and I do not understand the terminology.  I do not know what terms like "feed burner, RSS, podcast, blogger feed, feed reader, and chicklet" mean.  When I look the terms up, they are explained with other words that I do not understand -- it is like another language.

My next problem is finding a way to have a separate page or slide show of pictures.  I have a small album of pictures from Afghanistan that I'd like to post but, so far, I can't find a way to do so.  There is another "gadget" that allows me to post a slide show.  It requires me, however, to enter the "URL" of the slide show and, having looked up URL, I have no idea how to get one for my pictures.  I will, however, continue to play with it.

Meanwhile, my comment about having a discussion about torture has elicited no comments whatsoever.  I may write an essay about it anyway.  Here are a couple more topics that I think deserves some discussion:
1.  Profiling.  Law enforcement officers are supposed to be trained to notice things that might indicate criminal activity.  If they notice that a very high percentage of the narcotics seizures on I95 have been from rental cars driven by young African American men, why is it a bad thing to pay extra attention to rental cars driven by young African American men?
2.  Executive compensation:  Thirty years ago Fortune Five executives were paid 35 - 40 times the compensation of production workers.  Now it is 300 - 400 times production worker earnings.  How is it anti-business to think that this morally, economically, and philosophically unjustifiable.
