Husband had loan insured, but bank never told his widow

[JayhawkSD]

51. My wife knows we have mortgage insurance.

Because she has a brain and knows how to use it. Becuse she believes in equal rights for women and is reasonable enough to know that her belief also requires equal responsibility for women. Because she is not a mindless housekeeper, barefoot, pregannt cook.

This country and, for the most part, people in this forum, declaim the lack of equal pay for women and demand that it be corrected. Women are, it is claimed, in all respects equal to men, and yet we are quick to victimize a woman because "she did not know her husband had secured mortgage insurance," and presumably because, not knowing it, she did not have a mind or the intelligence to find it out. Give me a break.

We have become the perennial victims of big business only in part due to the evils of big business. We have in large part become the victims of our own unwilingness to take responsibility for our own well being, to act responsibly, and to serve as our own advocates.
