Saved--on Insurance Rates!

[LARSSON at VAX1.Mankato.MSUS.EDU]

P. wonders:

"It's  UNMARRIED MALE drivers under 25 who have those super high insurance
rates.  (Or has this changed?)
 
Does femaleness and marriage prematurely infect one with "the
recognition of death?"
 
Do insurance companies believe so?"


Actually, there was a piece in the paper just the other day by a gay columnist
who talked about how he liked to scan bumper stickers and ring fingers of
motorists in order to decide whether to cruise or just cruise by.  He said
that made him understand why married people got lower rates (not that the
state of marriage--or co-habitability--precludes looking; it just tends to
keep down direct eye contact)--fewer accidents are like when one's eyes are
on the road.  One perspective, at leas.
