For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
— The Continental Congress, July 4, 1776

“The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)

“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”

Minor site updates

I'm in the middle of a relatively minor site update. I've been working on cleaning up the CSS used on the site and some of my efforts have been successful, but others haven't. I've been testing the new changes in various browsers, and Firefox, Mozilla, Internet Explorer 7, and Opera all seem to render the site the way I want  now.

On Internet Explorer 7, the site should render more cleanly than in the past. The annoying horizontal scroll bar should be gone unless you're using a smaller than usual font size and one of the sidebar images ends up wider than the rest of the sidebar, and the page should render a bit quicker since it doesn't have to re-adjust positions after starting to render the layout.

Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 5.5 still have a minor problem with rendering the sidebar correctly, but it does render, although it appears a bit further to the right than I'd like in both browsers. If you're still using those antiquated browsers, you really should upgrade. This results in a horizontal scroll bar showing up and on Internet Explorer 6, the vertical scroll bars in the blog roll boxes are pretty much obscured unless you scroll the page over a bit.

I've also managed to reduce the size of the main CSS file by about 2 KB. That's not much, but it's something anyway.

All of this is in preparation for March when I release the site's "spring" look. After all, Winter is almost over, so it's time for a seasonal update.
