State Farm "Following" (video)

 

One may think State Farm is trying to show they care about community, too.

In THIS case, I think they do - and yes, this commercial did touch me where I don't like people going.

The Missus and myself spent much of our lives 'mentoring' (she did a lot of 'correcting', too). We never preached religion, we would show/work with/teach a lot of those you see in this commercial. A humbling effort, it requires you really mean what you say, what you do, for your 'belonging'.

As the days become fewer, we all look back on our own existence, what it meant to this big old goofy earth, how we contributed positive change within our fellow humans - we look back on our own footprints. I've seen much too much of what you see in this commercial...we never saw this as children , yet these are the same children we grew up with, or maybe their children. Where did it all go so wrong for them, or how did we get so lucky? Is that even a correct question to ask

If YOU as an individual believe in something strong enough, why not be part of a solution within your community? Giving? It isn't about the money one can toss out - it's about the amount of themselves people will donate.

(I've given the above movie away so many times I've lost count...but I try and live life that way)

 

I'm sorry, but I know what the insurance companies want to do. They want me/us to pay for all of the idiots out there.

 

F*CK OFF!!!!

 

I dumped them and their non-customer service tactics when they raised my insurance for no other reason than corporate greed.  Switched to Wawanesa Insurance for both auto and homeowners.  Wawanesa really came through for me brilliantly when I had a car theft claim.  Still best rates for me I can find.  

 

You realize that's how insurances work, right?  Your premiums go into a pool of funds from which accidents get paid.  You only "get back" if you get into an accident yourself.  So it's not really what they "want to" do.  It's what they do.
