Forced insurance is forced insurance is forced insurance. What do you not understand about the example of where the state charges people with "Insurance X" for walking outside their own dwellings? Walking anywhere other than your property is a privilege, right? Should I be allowed to, through politics, force you to pay 100 bucks per month on "Insurance X" that way in case you bump into me on the sidewalk and I fall, perhaps onto the road onto incoming traffic, Insurance X can pay for it?
Forced insurance is only superficially non-evil.

That's really a moot observation, as even "taking risk more seriously" doesn't remove it.

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so. - Ronaldus Magnus Reagan
Truth is, you could shove Obama's knowledge of small business operations and job creation up an gnats butt and it would rattle around like a marble in an empty supertanker. -- Neil Boortz

You are not forced to buy insurance - unless Obama has his way wrt Obamacare.
You have a choice. The choice you make determines if you choose to obligate yourself to buy insurance.
Other than that, you keep trying the same arguments I've already defeated.

Your neighbors aren't forcing you to buy car insurance, they're simply making it a requirement to use their property. Cooperating with others requires you to find away to resolve differences of opinion, if you are unable to find away to resolve those differences you should abstain from cooperative ventures (like streets).
Henry George's theories were based on land ownership and how far a business was from a public resource like a mill or waterway. The man lived and died a decade before the model T was produced much less modern transportation and communication. Not only did Henry George never hear of the Internet, he barely lived long enough to see the electric light. Applying the theories of Henry George to modern nations is about as risky as letting the most brilliant caveman design your next airport.

uhh if I'm gonna drive anywhere then yes I'm forced to buy car insurance.
Do you think you should also force me to buy health insurance, or since you'll yet again dodge the following question by arguing semantics, we'll call it "Insurance Y", to pay for your bodily and emotional damages, which can also easily happen in a car wreck?

yeah. I wanna be the owner of a "walking insurance" company and get rich off of that someday. I'll be sure to charge you 100 bucks a day, or whatever I want, for you to be allowed to walk or otherwise take your physical body anywhere other than your house. Just in case you bump into someone and make them trip and sprain their ankle, or break a bone, or fall into oncoming traffic and cause a crash pile-up.
Good luck with that. When you find you can't get what you want but auto insurance still exists, you might want to consider why your neighbors would support one and not the other. Recognizing that difference could help you find your way back to the real world.

They'd accept one and not the other because one has been forced on us so long that we accept it.
But that doesn't matter. You have NO RIGHT to limit my freedom to that extent without my consent.
