You seem to be taking this as a personal insult, Larry. What's with this
perjorative labeling? If it's flippant, it isn't really worthy of response.
If it isn't, then aren't you just taking a cheap shot? I provided additional
scenarios that I think would pass the non-flippant standard, but you seem to
have excised them.

Okay. Now, just get the electorate to agree to that.

But we did prepare: we collectively agreed to fund a county coroner. We even
agreed to levee taxes to pay for it.

People who fall dead on your property are "trespassers"? How dare they!
Actually, they were dragged there by your non-prepared neighbor, but you can't
prove it. And believe me, that's exactly what would happen.

I'm sure you are doing the Libertarian party scads of good. Here's some more
