    I had eight insurance policies with State Farm, and my agent's father was my parent's insurance agent. I explained my concerns to her, but of course she was powerless.

If they did notice, that's even worse.

    With what Obama and his band of leftie Democrats have been doing the past 5 years, you think that it is due to some John Birch hardliners. I want some of what you are smoking.
