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

Take Jason for instance, he enjoys rides on his bike, many times of which he breaks traffic laws having fun. There is just no committee to review his actions, nor are all his actions under public microscope.
Corruption is part of our culture, even a part of humanity. Don't think you are above it.
On topic again: Erik Prince must have a really good life vest, he sunk so many times with his enterprises, but always resurfaces after a while...
That's one of the reasons I asked about corruption. It seems no matter how corrupt GOP partners become they always bail each other out.
