Police in Haverhill are now encouraging members of the public to call a police tip hot line to report vehicles that may be registered out of state improperly. Residents who use phony addresses to save on their car insurance are a problem that border communities like Haverhill and Methuen have been fighting for years.
Even the way we choose to dole out cash betrays our true motives. Someone with ₤50 to give away and a world full of worthy causes should choose the worthiest and write the cheque. We don’t. Instead, we give ₤2 to the street collector for Save the Children, pledge ₤15 to Comic Relief, another ₤15 to Aids research, and so on. But ₤15 is not going to find a cure for Aids. Either it is the best cause and deserves the entire ₤50, or it is not and some other cause does. The scattergun approach simply proves that we’re more interested in feeling good than doing good.
