Greetings Fellow Travelers. Thank you for coming to my blog. I hope you will find it interesting, fascinating, absorbing, enthralling, perhaps even maddening, annoying, irritating, or infuriating. Most of all I hope you will find it a worthwhile read, and not - horror of horrors: boring.
I would like to know who stopped by and if you liked or disliked what you read here. You can leave comments, or reply to other comments and I highly encourage(plead with) you to do so. I encourage varied and/or opposing viewpoints. I enjoy robust exchange of ideas and do not take such, or mean such, personally. So... please do not just read posts and then leave thinking me misguided or brilliant; Tell me why, and where I have gone horribly wrong. Perhaps just add an angle to the idea that I had not thought of. Your comments often make my little blog far more interesting than I can alone.Anyway, thanks again for stopping by.
Now on to the disquisition.
Your Humble Contrarian
Thought of the Day
So in the vein of the law prohibiting insurance companies to refuse customers for preexisting conditions I think we should expand that to include all insurance: Life insurance for example. I think I should be able to call up an insurance company after my spouse dies and demand that they provide me with life insurance coverage. About 5 million dollars worth would be just about right.
Similarly I should be able to call a 24 hour hotline from the scene of an accident to demand coverage for my totaled car.
Yep I can see endless possibilities here.
Ben-ism of the Day
Optimism: Pathological ignorance of imminent doom.
"There is nothing to fear but fear Itself!" - The phrase most often used to lure a bunch of half-wits that do not consider the factuality (or idiocy) of that statement to their doom.
Those who lack the courage to attempt the impossible may forever deny themselves the knowledge of just how majestically they can fail... (B. Owen 2011)
