I second that!  In my (never humble) opinion, I think the greatest
disservice associated with this otherwise fine NG is the constant
position that the ONLY reason to buy life insurance is to provide for
currently known dependents.  While in fact most young Americans don't
have a NEED for life insurance today, the cold reality is that many
WILL in the future  AND buying when they are young will get them a
rate they would kill for once they get old enough to need it.

Of course, one of the nice things about a moderated NG such as this
one is the free exchange of ideas and opinions.  We can agree to
disagree respectfully.
