The Joy of Ron Paul's 'Liberty Defined'..

[Diane Amberg]

Uh, Steve I know you posted this way back, but where did you get the idea that if you have a fire you'll get a bill from the fire company? We do no such thing here. We do bill people's insurance for ambulance calls and they can prepay for their family once a year during our ambulance fund drive ($25.00 for an individual or $35.00 per family.) and get no further bill even if they don't have insurance or use the service many times during the year.   We send a bill to people's insurance for rescue services for vehicle accidents. Some insurance companies pay and some don't. If not, we don't press it.

because of the two fires i have had to call on they billed for the service.  Insurance paid it but they do bill for it.

Steve, were these fires in Elk County, with the Elk County Rural Fire District equipment and personel responding?

I would give the annotation of these word-for-word definitions, but you would just waste some bandwidth trying to attack the source.

While you're presenting your narrow view of conservatives and providing unannotated presentations, please cover these as well:

Liberal conservatism
Conservative liberalism
Libertarian conservatism
Fiscal conservatism
Green conservatism
Cultural and social conservatism
Religious conservatism

Thanks.

Steve, I don't mean to be picky, but for those fires, who billed your insurance company? You or the fire company? Did the fire company bill you directly? If I may be so bold, for how much?

2000 for one fire on land, brush and trees burning, unsure how it started and 18,000 for a structure fire.  first in colorado second in tennessee

  Patriot I dont limit my meaning of a word to the somewhat dubious ones used for POLITICAL propaganda.

  Being a progressive thinker has nothing to do with politics in my mind and I am fully aware of the word-bending used by BOTH sides of the POLITICAL spectrum to justify their use of them.

Perhaps it's safer to say you're a forward thinker who makes independent judgments in matters of politics and industry.

Uh .......perhaps thats exactly what I have been saying to you all for months. Me and several OTHER people who have been tarred with the same brush.  I make independent judgments in MOST areas LOL

Diane, unless you "join" the volunteer fire department here where I am they WILL send you a bill if they have to come fight a fire on your place.

[Diane Amberg]

I'm just not familiar with that practice Pam. I know about the business in some areas of a response not being made to the fire at all unless you are on record as having paid an annual fee, but not a bill for services after the fact. How much is the bill?

[thatsMRSc2u]

 I dont know for sure Diane...think it varies according to time and equipment needed. Fortunately (knock on wood) I have never had to find out.

[Diane Amberg]

Thanks Pam, I'm still looking into it. It must be similar to how we run our ambulance service here in Newark. I'm just curious. Are your firefighters volunteer or paid or combination? There are so many different ways it can be done.
