<quoted text>washer you are replying to statements in reply to a statement I made; I wad simply thinking that since we are already required to purchase a version of insurance for our vehicles which have a finite value, its odd that we do not. As human beings we are priceless, if we were to be obligated to carry at least some form of insurance wouldn't that make more sense to have health insurance? Granted we are only required to carry insurance on our cars if we drive, but if we don't drive we don't need it. Its a choice; I get it. But; as I stated a moment ago we are more valuable than our cars, shouldn't it make more sense to protect ourselves?

Most Oklahoma are not interested nor proud of a catfish noodling show. In fact I didnot know it existed. But then I think most if not all reality show are crap! We use to going to the lake and enjoyed swimming, skiing, wave-runners and fishing but damn sure would not want to watch a TV show about it! So I don't think most people here, Oklahoma, fall into the catagory that some of you are trying to paint. I don't know what part of California Dusty lives but alot of the places I know about I really would not like living in California. Nice place to visit though. So I guess you might say each to their own!

You really are a defensive person Tamara. You take everything personal. You are quite right that there are many places in California that are disgusting and wrong. But California is about 20 times the size of Oklahoma. The population is at least 15 times the size of Oklahoma. California is going to have a vast array of types of people and situations. There are parts of California I wouldn't drive through in broad daylight if you payed me.
But your defense is not accurate. California gets reality shows like "Housewives of Orange County" in which rich women waste their time bickering over nothing while Oklahoma gets reality shows about noodling. You have to be able to see the difference in the image projected to the country. Rich housewives being spoiled brats implies one thing. And that's worthless. But it's a sign of affluence. Noodling implies hicks, hillbillies and broke people. you have to be able to understand the influence that has on the image of Oklahoma as a state.

<quoted text>It seems to me that these reality show take the worse of the worse no matter where they orginate out of. I would say that anyone that waste their time watching any of them needs to have their head checked. I would be willing to bet that 3/4 of the people here in Oklahoma don't even know what noodling is or someone that has ever done it. But I do know that it was done more back around 1920s. But kids back then did not have much to entertain themselves except to do the simple things outdoors. It would be interest for Van to tell us where exactly this noodling show is being filmed. I am not to sure that noodling is legal now. There are people I would like to kick their butts to the curb just they are to lazy to make something out of their selves. Sorry your memories here are so bad for you that you have take every chance you get to run us down. But even at that I think I would actually like you if I meant you in person. You are a very interesting person. But I also get the idea that would never happen once you found out I was from Oklahoma.

In the survey of Stuff Okies Like, Noodling is right near the top and comes in a close second to Toby Keith.

That's simply not true. My best friend is from Oklahoma this very day. And he's not sophisticated or highly educated. But he knows Oklahoma for what it is. A state about 50 years behind the times. Poverty ridden, uneducated and ignorant. Now that is how the politicians of Oklahoma want it. And until that state decides to make it different that is how it will be.

<quoted text>Then why do people carry auto insurance if their auto/truck is paid for?
I will say our health insurance did alright by us when my husband was fighting stage 3 colon cancer. We had good insurance but we paid out our nose for it. I will also say not all health insurance policies are equal. A person really has to study what they are buying to know exactly what you have.
