uninsured moterist rant
DD's car was creamed by an uninsured driver. Good news she was not hurt. Bad news, other driver had no insurance. So end of the day, will end up costing the DD about 500 bucks. Thing is she is a sing...

While I'm not condoning driving without insurance. $500.00 is not a lot of money in today's world.
If your daughter was involved in an automobile accident and the worst of it was a $500.00 bill consider yourself lucky.
The outcome could have been much worse.
Since it's not about the money would you have posted your story if the bill were $100.00?
You say it is about fair play? One concept I try to instill in my kids is that life is not always fair.
The definition of fair of is sort of like beauty, It is in the eye of the beholder.
Where we draw the fair line can be very questionable at times.
In the end be grateful your DD was not hurt.
Money can be earned and easily replaced,organs and body parts are often not replaceable.
While you feel your daughter was treated unfairly consider there are lots of people permanently in rehab hospitals,clinics and wheel chairs that were not as fortunate as your daughter.
I'm sorry, but to me $500 is still a fair amount of money to have removed from my pocket due to an irresponsible person. That is about 10 days worth of camping. $5 is a small amount, $500 is not.
And the idea of just saying "Stuff happens" when you're are treated badly is a poor example to set for children. Just because it could have been worse is no reason to brush the whole thing off. A true victim mentality.
