Well thanks, I guess. I just think that in some ways we as a group are
getting more stiff. And I think a significant part of that is the effect of
having to have insurance and worrying about lawsuits.
I don't know about anyone else but I am sick and tired and weary unto death
of having to live in a world where what I can do and the ways I can do it
are determined not by me, but by a second party who is scared of the
*possibility* of insurance costs going up because a third party *might* sue.
ESPECIALLY when those second and third parties don't even live in the same
state as I do and the legal requirements are different. I knew the job was
dangerous when I took it. I'd been in the SCA over ten years before I even
knew we were required to carry insurance.
OK, down off that particular soapbox. If I write any more I might start
edging close to insurrection.
