Just a thought.......

If I don't watch TV for a month, never switch on the cable box once, it would be nice if I had no bill that month.

If I didn't drive my car for a month, it would be great if I had no insurance bill for the month. I wasn't out driving, so I am creating no risk for the insurance company.

If I did not place or receive any calls on my land line......you get the picture.

I get your point Mr. Sir. I just wish all services were billed on a "usage" basis. Unfortunately, our economy is primarily service based. Child care is a service, not a retail store.

Sure, if I don't drive my car, I don't have to buy gas. Gas is a consumable/retail product, the insurance is not. So if I wish to own my car and have it registered, I have to pay my insurance bill.

Even energy is a consumable product, based on usage. If I choose to use little or no power, my bill goes down. But if I didn't charge parents for the spot, instead charged purely on attendance, my power bill doesn't go down because two or three kids aren't there......I'm still running the AC all day. And the bill is still due. KWIM?
