Speak Out A 02/11/03

INSURANCE companies can without your permission access your credit report. They can base your rate not only on your driving ability and how much your car is worth, but also on your credit report. We got a rate increase based on our past credit history. I have a hard time understanding how my credit report can in any way, shape or form make any difference on what kind of a driver I am. This needs to be changed.

Cut off the funding

I SAW on television and read in the paper about Nelson Mandela and his criticism of the United States and President Bush. I think President Bush should immediately cut off any money that we're giving any country that acts like Mandela did. I mean not next week or two weeks from now, but right now. I don't care what we have promised or anything else. Let them support themselves.

Change schedule

I WAS reading where some 23-year-old just hates when he gets behind some old man or old woman going under the speed limit. I wonder if this person ever thought about leaving a little bit earlier.
