Yeah! I agree, we should all have guns and the government should be eliminated entirely, every man for himself!

Florida has a much higher risk of hurricanes than any other state, and with all the recent hurricanes, homeowner's insurance has gone through the roof. Insurance companies are not allowed to distribute that risk to any other state, by law. The federal government could allow that by creating something similar to federal flood insurance.
well , how about moving to a state with cheaper rates if it is that big of an issue!

Why leave if simply by voting one can get someone else to foot the bill?

Seriously, that's why that guy is on my ignore list. He's a complete brainwashed religious nut that goes off-topic just to discuss his own agenda.

On-topic:

I completely agree with helena.

Don't even bother asking. Just add Marks to your ignore list and move on. Soon no one on the forum will be able to see any of his posts if we do that, then we won't have to worry about him. He never makes sense.

Finally, a sensible plan. BTW, thank you for adding that little extra in with your tax return this year. At least someone practices what they preach.

Go live in a third-world country if you want every man for himself and leave civilized society alone. Just because we help support each other doesn't mean we're communists. You must be Senator McCarthy because everyone is red to you.
