Marco Rubio fears competition.

Marco Rubio fears competition. You know, that thing that's supposed to make capitalism work? AT&T, Comcast, Verizon and all the others have carved out little niches of markets among themselves in order to give you and me, the consumer, the lowest quality service possible while charging the highest possible rates without scaring off customers.

Some cities have circumvented corporations and installed their own high bandwidth services, case in point, Chattanooga.

Rubio doesn't think municipalities should be driving competition against his financial backers.

What next? Maybe municipalities shouldn't be in the clean water business? Or maybe give all their parks to developers?

Rubio is a typical bought-and-paid-for corporate shill. I am kind of surprised it took him this long to actually say what's he's been paid to say.

He's a Scott Walker who happens to be in Congress and not serving as a Governor.

I shudder to think what would happen to any State so unfortunate as to have Rubio as Governor.

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
