I drove through this corridor today in my truck with out of state plates. I'm actually sitting in a crappy little town just a few miles away called Millstadt.

Reason #2 on why I would never live here.
Reason #1 is I have a lot of family in Collinville and this area.

Police are corrupt, and have no regard for our rights. Where's the news here?

If you read the article they tried to fire him but were forced to hire him back. It really is a f'd up system.

As someone who was born in Illinois and who went to school in Southern Illinois with a friend who lived near there - I can say playing banjo music is appropriate. That part of IL is a whole other world.

No there are parts near Collinsville that are still banjo playing. Just not as many. And Mill-snot is way off the end of the 270? loop I believe where there may be more livestock than people.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
