Why Not Take What's with these jokers who always have to pay through the nose for something or they think they're being had? A guy will pay a lot of money for protection he may 01 may not need on the one hand but will turn down free protection he may or may not need on the other. For example, Sam has spent, about $150 a year now for 10 years for auto insurance to save his neck in case he clobbers someone. He hasn't had an auto-accident in all this time and he may never have one. But, do you think he'd go out driving in his car if his auto insurance had lapsed? ^kJI HH .

Yes, neither one of these clowns has really been mangled in all his years ? and maybe they never will be. But, why be so inconsistent? You're insuring the same merchandise, whether for free or for fee. The man with the narrow mind usually makes up for it by the length of his arguments. Some people's reason may be no reason at all, but it is a waste of time to argue against it. Usually the voice of reform is drowned out by the shouts of politicians who want the office. They say, if you catch a cold and don't attend to it, it will last fourteen days; but if you go to a doctor, and take medicine, you can get rid of it in two weeks.
