We know you’re constantly bombarded with year-long requests. We ask once for donations in the Fall when our biggest bill - web hosting & security – takes the last of our supply. All staff and contributors are volunteer. Your contribution goes directly for the website (of which newsletters are one part) and is eligible for a charitable tax deduction.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." —Carl Sagan
