Please watch the following clip from ABC news and see what you think about the idea of what has come to be known as 'dead peasants insurance'. Are you okay with the idea of companies gambling on when you will die?Besides being morally repugnant this idea also has another, darker side. Clearly, any company which takes out life insurance on an employee has a financial incentive in that person dying earlier than would be expected. I'm sure I don't have to spell out the implications of this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cLrXYmUurE
I was doing some reading here at myLot and one of the adverts at the top of the page caught my eye. It was a Bruce Campbell Poker Chip .. or so I thought. Turns out it was a chip guard. I've never seen anything like this and the seller says that in poker competitions you have to have one on your cards. I've played at a lot of casinos but I have never been told to have a guard on my cards. In any event, I though this was a cool little collectible!
