Disturbing petittion I was asked to sign today for the ballot

[OffWithTheirHeads]

To allow auto insurance companies to set your rates by your payment history rather than your driving record.

In other words, if you are poor or make a late payment they can jack up your rates.

More class war being waged by our corporate masters. This idea needs a stake driven through its heart quickly!

1. so a rich SOB who drives drunk but pays his bill on time

is a better client than a guy who is 3 days late on a payment with no tickets, accidents etc..?

I'd love to 'discuss' this issue with someone asking me to sign that petition.

assholes.

2. You got it! They had quite a few signatures though

Teh Stupid. It's frightening.

3. of course there were

I wonder how they rationalize this crap with the uninsured driving because they can't afford insurance? Yea.. that makes sense to make it so expensive for those struggling that they can't afford it at all. :eyes:

I can't imagine the insurance companies going for this really - why would they give better rates to those who they surely pay the most out for.

4. I was asked to sign one also

and didn't. The explanation given was to reform car insurance for lower rates and to make red lining illegal. That may be why there were so many signatures.

5. Oh yeah, I just know the insurance industry wants to charge me less

Cause they really like me.

6. Most people don't read

or have any idea of what the petition really says. I keep asking when the petetion making ddivorce illegal in this state is coming. In my twisted little brain I think the religious right deserves it. The other day when I was asking about it this woman got so excited. She said her religion doesn't believe in divorce.

7. So maybe Pitition gatherers should use pop up books

And don't even get me started on religion. I could go for days.

8. LOL

Some of it just makes your brain hurt. I have been griping about the dumbing down of America for years. I thought it was bad 15 years ago but it is nothing like it is now.
