Google won't say why?

Google has kicked me off of adsense.  There used to be ads on this site, and without any sort of explanation they have shut down my account.  I have to admit, I'm normally a staunch defender of all things Google, and especially like Sites, but after this experience with adsense, I'm starting to rethink that attitude.  Google, you're only going to make enemies with the attitude that you can do whatever you want without explanation to anybody.
To add insult to injury, they also put a stop on the last check, so that has cost me $5 on top of not getting the over two hundred dollars that I had earned.  I would really love to know what I did wrong guys, but since helping us poor smucks avoid your wrath is against your policy, you're leaving me no choice but to leave Google.

Kenmore Riot

Kenmore Riot

Boston's Kenmore Square 2004 after Sox win

 

Back in 2004, I was attending a VON conference during the baseball playoffs. When the Sox won, the resultant jubilation of some Bostonians spilled out into a full fledged riot, complete with smashed signs, turned over cars. The police in riot gear pushed the crowds back and regained control. There was one unfortunate fatality Victoria Snelgrove caused by the misuse of a new supposedly less-lethal gun. The video was taken in the Kenmore Squarearea from my 5th floor room in the Buckminster Hotel (see view below) facing north and was shot using my Canon A75 (a poor choice, but all I had). The crowds started gathering soon after the end of the game, and the rioting continued well through the night.
