Please don't blame the monopolies, blame it on a society that is soft on
crime, lacks respect for law and order and chooses not to deal with it. Look
at the previous post and look at the locations of the posters who have the
high rates. This is the first time I have actually realized a correlation
between crime rate and its effect on my cost of living. I think it is unfair
to attack the insurance company, they as all companies pass the cost of
business onto the consumer. People who live in lower crime rate areas pay
less for their insurance. I would assume people who live in lower crime rate
areas pay less for everything they purchase, after all, businesses all have
to pay for all types of  insurance and that is passed onto the consumer.

I need to stop with this idea, it is making me mad at the criminals, and
reckless drivers, and moms with cell phones in their ear while driving, and
those who drive 70 mph in a 55 mph speed zone, and those who think that it
is not the speeders fault, but it's the fault of the speeders parents, oh
geeze, here I go again!
I THINK IT NEEDS TO STOP RAINING, SO I CAN GO FOR A RIDE! (probably not
politically correct?)

Bring out the ARK, it has been raining thirty days and thirty nights.
