Thread Name: BS: Occupations or people? Dishonorable?
Subject: RE: BS: Occupations or people? Dishonorable?
I've lived long enough to have the opinion that there are TWO so called "INDUSTRIES" that seem to attract the scum of the earth, at least here in America.

I offer that the second to the worst of these two is anything connected to the insurance industry. By definition it is a numbers game, predicated first of all by guarenteeing the company profits by getting your money. I have NEVER met an insurance salesperson, and I know many, that I would ever invite into my home.

But by far the worst in my experience is the "CEMETARY" industry. I do not mean the funeral industry, but the people that own the land where huge profits are made by burying people. Here in Washington state, this industry is so rigged that it's vitually impossible to find any kind of burial place that is affordable and dignified. And the cemetary plot salespeople are really something to behold.

Just my opinion. Bob
