Nope. If it were =RANDOM= you couldn't make this statement:

 > Someone who drives a large number of miles in a not particularly
 > fuel-efficient car
 > with a good driving record on open highway, which is less prone to
 > accidents
 > per mile driven, is bound to be paying far more for insurance.

Then you went on to complain:

 > That's grossly unfair.

"Someone who drives a large number of miles in a not particularly
fuel-efficient car" contributes more than his/her fair share to air
pollution and resource depletion. Seems fair to me that this type of
behavior ought to be economically penalized.

Peace,

John
