If you believe in insurance, maybe you should spend some time in a casino.
A quote from an enterprising sailer in Alaska strikes close to my heart here:

"I would assert that risk is an inescapable part of any worthwhile recreation. Sailing's not as safe as golf, but it's probably safer than skydiving.

If you hear someday that I flipped my MJ and drowned, you can still quote me on this. The water isn't for the faint of heart. If you spend all your time trying not to die, you're not really living. If you have to have absolute safety, stay on shore. But watch out for cars, falling trees, disgruntled employees . . . you get the picture.

Now go build the boat of your dreams, and don't make me come back in here!

I'm tired of hearing that it is irresponsible not to buy this or that type of insurance. If it was a winning bet, insurance companies would not be trading on the NYSE.
Insurance is BULLSHIT. It is a way of charging way too much money for a service. If I were not legally obligated to pay for med insurance, MDs and Insurance execs would not be able to afford quite as nice a set of cars and exotic vacations. (though even without the legal requirement, plenty of shmucks think they are good doobies for paying the fees)
