I think I'll sue my insurance company for charging me more for auto insurance than they charge women. ***************************************************** Sorry, the decision only applied to employee insurance programs, which are covered under the civil rights act. Insurance bought on the open market is not covered by it. Also, the court specifically said that plaintiffs cannot collect for past damages, only that the companies must change their methods in the future. -- Larry Kolodney #13 (I try harder) (USENET) decvax!genrad!grkermit!larry allegra!linus!genrad!grkermit!larry harpo!eagle!mit-vax!grkermit!larry (ARPA) rms.g.lkk@mit-ai
