Karma. Because good things really do happen to bad people!
I couldn't read the article because I have AdBlock and such---however your opening line says it all to be Bass---thanks for sharing it!

I have a love/hate relationship with Karma----she's bit me in the azz far too many times for me to really love her BUT I celebrate when she visits others! (BTW I'm fully aware any bad Karma coming my way tends to be well deserved.

When Karma's teeth wind up with some of my flesh and blood on them I generally acknowledge that I had it coming and adjust accordingly.

That said, I've apparently got a Guardian Angel that works overtime. I've done so much stupid crap in my life, and survived it with little more than a scar, than I care to admit! It's truly frightening.

And a special mention goes out to John Morgan, the world's richest ambulance chaser that brags about his firm single-handedly being responsible for more than 4 BILLION dollars in premium payments.

Oh. And a marketing campaign that's designed to be a d$ck joke...

C'mon Bass, you know this maggot is "for the people." He even says so in his commercials. We are subject to him up here in the N/E corner of our fair state also. Dude exudes slime through the TV.

He's made enough money that his outside investments alone make him a wealthy man. When his firm alone gets $1B+ in settlements (keeping $400M+) every year, a sum that comes straight out of out insurance premiums, it's time for tort reform.

When you can't outrun the cops, just throw the baby at them. Bonus -- claim "I can't breathe" once you're in cuffs!

My mischievous nature would have me balk at selling it back---see if I could make a quick buck or two? OR lease them the land under the tower maybe?

Yeah. I was thinking that there were a few ways to make a couple of bucks here, and a LOT more ways to have some fun with it!

I wonder who I'm related to.... Guess I'll just submit my DNA to an ancestry site.

Police: Hey! We have some questions for you about a rape 14 years ago.

There have been a few reason why I never jumped on that band wagon to know too much about my DNA so the history of my origin will go forever unknown---its of no real interest to me. I want to believe this whole service began somewhat innocently but in time has turned into a crime fighting or solving function, perhaps being used in a way it was not intended?

But even though I'm fairly certain I've never left any traceable DNA at any crime scene I feel safe I'd not be tracked down and falsely accused of a heinous crime---better to be safe than sorry I'm thinking!

Understood. I know my lineage as much as I need to. Both grandparents on dad's side immigrated to the U.S. Mom's side has been traced back to the Mayflower. (Somewhere there's a map going back a looooong way.) Not sure a genealogy test could reveal anything that I don't already know.
