Huxters and Charlatans

I heard a startling fact yesterday. And it was on TV, so I reckon its true. The fella said “Death happens often, and can happen unexpectedly.” Then he, wisely it would seem, recommended we all buy some life insurance. I did a little checking…turns out up until about 100 years ago every person born later died, that’s 100% ! It tapers off from about a hundred years ago, with fewer and fewer people dying, until we reach today where almost everybody is alive! If the trend continues I think it would be safe to say death had been eradicated…so there would be no need for life insurance…

tricky bastards, don’t fool me.
