Excellent. Thanks for adding a thought-provoking post to this thread.

Cool! Does that mean I get to stay one night free at the Alexiz Park Inn?


Depends. What do you fly?

We might be able to work out a trade? :-)

sigh Whatever I can rent, until I get my replica of this thing
http://www.hillfamily.org/david/aviation/Epps1924/Epps1924p01.htm
built. When I get it done, let's see if I have the balls to fly it on a
570.4 nm trip, *then* talk about it.

I never realized there were so many religion nuts in aviation. Amazing

Really? I counted less than five..

I'm guessing he was counting the anti-religion nuts as part of the whole
;-

Five is five too many.

Five is five too many.

But you still haven't made a case that the insurance industry is providing any
"better" service to anybody other than you.

Especially when you consider that you will probably have insurance until
you exceed whatever quota they decide to grant you in mistakes.

I wouldn't want to base my decision on a Dentist/Doctor/whatever based on
if a guy had insurance.

I was hit by an old lady with glasses so thick it was amazing she could
even wear them, come to think of it she wasn't. Another hack at
insurance, she just had 3 previous accidents and still had coverage, I
don't buy the insurance/private industry taking care of things. They
won't until after x amount of events and I don't want to be that event...

Look how well private industry did at the beginning of the industrial
revolution, a remarkable track record of humanity don't you think?

Moses is no longer in effect. Of course if you are Jewish and don't believe in
Jesus Christ then you've got problems.

Dr. Laura is of the Jewish faith, so I think it's wildly humorous. I'd
love to hear somebody call her up with the selling of their daughter bit,
it'd be the funniest thing I've heard all year. In fact, I saved the text
from that web page, it's fantastic.

I flew into Jackson Hole solo in a perfect P Baron on a perfect day; once.
That was a spiritual experience anyone would relish.
However there are no references to Jackson Hole in the Bible.
Too bad.

I am a dentist, licensed by the state. But if the state stayed out of
it, I

would still need professional liability insurance. It would be in the insurance
company's best interest to only insure competent dentists, so they would check
my credentials and my record before insuring me. YOu need only check to see if
i have insurance to know if I am qualified, so what purpose does the license
really serve?

Would the fact that you had insurance _really_ say anything about your
competence?
Or would it just say that you had found someone who was willing to
provide you with
_some_ coverage at a price you were willing to pay? Without examining
_your_ policy,
I have no idea whether they consider you a low-risk client (i.e. highly
qualified, keeping
up with the latest developments in your field, etc.), or if they think
you're a claim that
just hasn't been filed yet. I don't know whether you have a fairly
inclusive policy, or
one that's so limited that the only way they'll pay is if the claimant
can prove intentional
premeditated damages planned at least two years in advance.

And how am I to even know that this insurance company is a reputable
company?
Do they have enough reserves to handle potential claims and remain
solvent? Do they
have the expertise to evaluate your performance?

So far, all I've seen from your argument is a claim that I don't need
to be an expert
in dentistry to tell if you're competent. However, I now need to become
an insurance
expert in order to determine whether or not the insurance you _claim_ to
have has
any validity.

Religion is about "belief". No need to prove a belief

- and no way to do it, either.

This would be fine if the people holding that belief recognized that
that's all it is,
and that another person's beliefs have just as much basis as there's,
and are therefore
just as valid. The problem comes when people mistake "beliefs" for
"truths", and
start insisting that anyone who doesn't believe the same way is damned.

I believe in life after death, only in minds of the living.
