> Does anyone on this list believe there is ANYTHING good to say about State Farm?
Uh, the (area?) headquarters were in Monroe, Louisiana years ago, and 
they seemed to be "good citizens" to the state.

Personally, I, too, had agent issues. In a rush of paperwork completion, 
we went with them for house, life (just enough and long enough to help 
cover a mortgage), and auto as young newlyweds, but products advertised 
never seemed to quite pan out. Then, with no claims or tickets, when I 
wanted to purchase a "performance" car (a then-six-year-old 450SL that I 
was buying because it was a convertible, and would pull an inboard 
engine ski boat - yes, I had a trailer hitch put on it!), I was told 
they would cover it only to the end of the current term at minimum state 
requirements.

We've been with GEICO, piecemeal by piecemeal, since, and pleased with 
rates and service. In fact, after my mother's death, by the time the 
house was transferred to my name, Katrina had visited, and when I 
shopped around very purposefully, State Farm (and Allstate) would not 
even discuss auto OR home without having both. I guess insurers believe 
in climate change even if most of our legislators deny it.

Peace,
