Lot's of things in life require payment(s), or purchase of addon equipment, depending on your circumstances in life, your living arrangements, or your location. If you are in a high-crime area your mortgage insurance will probably require you to purchase an alarm, or if your home is prone to house fires, a smoke detector. Then there are taxes, fees, licenses, etc. Life is self is pay-to-play, whether you realize it or not. - -Jim P. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEE3RmV4WutJ2KyCS2zPcxbabkKGJ8FAmAJcwMACgkQPcxbabkK GJ9Vlg/+J/7GiIC17+cMuT8b2O7+JI7YxSP2WQ3rEaLtLlL+eNSmyqCxoll5A07o RCneiBzyTKejnS5YJHNksUtq4avI4LSE4e17OsKMW1QWCozBMzfEqLtdiBBLItnf 2s2MpE6WIF504CGrwpsUf9DgVgC1Eg8mFxy3f+XQQsj3kMFZaYyoMAHQamxssz8t ZVT/5AudYnO4wXRVzyxZ1XgmfUL57lEGtlFhSGTWEbmoAyM+0KCxBF6i3qTONDSv LSVImbPFnyy/tZHR0QsHhB+fFPxV23hGoFwMahSJR4T/nK2YFC4JJvFjF54/QtB6 i+mbWZBA9nSuCFGhPXJBUtyOmC2WtwEuOIXR3S+mclbeIqFz/yGDODXXBsvWS0l5 qiMP+gxGy3xxbJ/DB7Hh+jY8OsPkuY4BbdfB0bZj43BJVbNVD87JwtRua61OG2oj uXFnNBDYyd7/Imp0qiLISb0TX58DLtYupkVcihlbLy5yQkC6S6CXT/5ruQ9bs7Ml VccejPk1GSxepFLjGeG1uFqr0SDuCKQR1JSayahR8ObAtLPNpYQ/h8+a+/AHMTF4 fsb3QYn3J6btVzOZAQWKztqmIBq9xxubgg0YjVVx0ddQSdYoqir7HbZMJoZSWGu6 EmEBDBGEwGRQGztqfkDDT5lI37PeJTsvY4Fu3NyPYAwmLs6CBdo= =0Lyp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
