Just wait until #DonaldTrump and the #GOP congress try to sell water rights to Nestle or Coke, or InBev. While no one's brought it up yet, it wouldn't surprise me to see this happen as the Republicans have been trying to privatize just about everything.

He better sell them soon! Otherwise he may lose big time after the coal and fracking industries get done with water resources.

FYI, the selling of water rights predates Trump. The San Bernardino National Forest has allowed Nestle to get water for years. (It's sold under the Arrowhead brand.)

Jason ON so its ok if Democrats in California do it as long as the forget to charge the company for it, instead opting for campaign contributions?

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
