To me this is like the tiwlight zone. Firefighters standing around watching a building burn to the ground. I mean the way I thought it works is you pay your taxes to the city or town and they pay the firefighters. I Never heard of this membership dues protection thing before. It is to much like mob style protection. Imagine if the police worked this way, as they stand around watching you get the crap kicked out of you because you never paid your police membership dues. Some things are just not meant to be privatized like this.
