It all depends on the insurance coverage. Yes, even carelessness can be covered (heck, even stupidity can be covered). That's why they call it insurance. You can even insure yourself against claims for excessive violence and lost future earnings from thieves (or their heirs) that you shoot while they're burgling your house. And you needn't even worry about it somehow not feeling "OK". Ain't free enterprise great? Chris H -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
