If you're reading this you're probably online and a fan of online communications. DHS believes the first 100 miles inside the US borders are a Constitution Free zone and now Congress is debating whether or not communications are Constitutionally free, as well.

Let me ask you, why do you think the government of the people, by the people and for the people hates the people's rights so much?

What does this mean exactly for people that aren't crossing the border but live within 160km of the border? (screw your miles, this is metric).  I don't get it.  Bad enough that blinky light toys are suspect at the border but no idea what it means for walking down the street.  Most Canucks live within the new zone.

Reminds me of 9/11 when the skies went so quiet here except for lots of planes cruising the border over the lake.  Well I'll just wave at the drones but can't imagine what else they could do.

I didn't know that TK Monastyrski. I did know most Canadians live within a hundred miles of the US.

Good thing I moved from San Diego. Really, it is a whole other world down there. Within that "buffer" zone we are subject to random car "inspections" and the "free"way is blocked off like a toll booth with DHS inspecting vehicles. At least when the freeway backs up more than 3 miles they release the lines so that shows how serious they are about the effort.

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. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

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
