Thank goodness we have the state gov't. Without them could you imagine
all the insurance companies running around with their heads cut off not
knowing how to price policies. Its good to see the state jump in with
their super abilities.

Not to mention they protect the public from unregulated psychics,
substandard feng shui practicioners, and unlicensed pet psychologists.

The California situation is because the voters passed an amendment to
the state constitution several years ago, which the insurance companies
fought tooth and nail until recently.

So, based on your sarcastic premise, democracy is not working.

Seems to me the drivers in California's rural areas will have their
insurance rates go up to subsidize the greater loss rates in the urban
areas. I'm sure all the urban drivers are happy.

I don't know of any effect, but where you drive mostly does affect
insurance rates. Check city vs. suburban vs. rural rates. They are
often quite different.

That has been ruled illegal in California. Accident/ticket record and
miles driven annually are the variables now.

I'm not surprised as CA is a pretty stupid state. Given that thefts are
higher in most cities as are accident rates per mile driven, it only
makes sense that rates would be commensurately higher.

Matt

Without the illegal Mexicans, any guess how many fewer cars
and trucks would be stolen and chopped in Mexico?

It seems the jury is still out on that one. Some companies claim not so
(thus far).

It always seemed to me that driving record, miles driven, and zip code
were all valid underwriting factors. But, zip code is not politically
correct and big money convinced the mindless voters to change the state
consititution. Not unlike Native American gaming.

Voters in California are no more stupid or intelligent than voters
elsewhere in this country. There is a lot of power in the ability of
the voters to amend the constitution. This process has worked well in
some cases, and in other cases big money (often on both sides of the
issue) put up giant smokescreens. People seldom read beyong what is fed
to them on television, whether it be in California or the other 49 states.

Now, if you want to say that American voters, as a group, are stupid in
all 50 states, you won't hear any disagreement from me. Not many states
permit the voters to amend the state constitution; at least that is what
they tell me on television. ;-)

That cannot be discussed because it, like profiling Muslims at the
airport, is not politically correct. Having said that, the issue with
"undocument" drivers without insurance on the metro streets of
California is a far greater problem than the relative small percentage
of cars that disappear to our Good Neighbor's friendly country to our south.

Profiling people at airports? Lets play "Spot the Muslim/Terrorist"
shall we?

Here's a photo of one of Iran's top soccer stars - would you be able to



pick him out as a "Muslim" and therefore a potential terrorist who
should be profiled?

Here's another Muslim - would you be able to spot him?
http://www.votolatino.com.ar/2003/fotos/catstevens.jpg


This fellow would obviously be entitled to a free pass:

How about this fellow - oh he must REALLY be one of them sneaky
muslims, what with those dark swarthy looks. Why, he's even wearing
sheets!
http://www.mohandasgandhi.com/ghandi.jpg


Course, this fellow is arguably swarthy, but that's because his father
is Jamaican ( you know, Axis of Evil Jamaica?)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1731568.stm


How about this fellow - no problem letting him on board the airplane,
since he's neither a Muslim nor particularly swarthy
http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/...arlos-2000.jpg
(Carlos the Jackal, FYI)


Hmm... Turbans, Beards, funny religious practices. Oh my! These fellows
and DEFINITELY muslims and should DEFINITELY be singled out!
http://www.pilgrimage-india.com/indi...-religion.html


And this guy - a Christian fellow named George. Nah, can't be a
terrorist. Let him on board without a second glance.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Habash


Oh wait - what about this guy. Why, with all that red hair, he's
obviously Irish!

Yes the sooner we stick to profiling them suspiciously swarthy
"Muslim" people the safer we'll all be. Amen.

Do you suppose profiling encompasses more than just looking at a person's
appearance?
