	yeah, I figured something like that would have to be the case.

	They don't give their money away so easily.

	As for 9/11, I have heard that now there are now exclusionalry
	clauses	in some policies for death by terrorist acts.  Given
	that the definition of a "terrorist act" is so vague, it would
	seem that any volitional cause of death is now excluded from
	such policies.  Shot in a robbery: terrorist act.  Wife poisons
	you for the payoff: terrorist act... and so on.

	The world is getting absurd enough to laugh at.
