I know this is about Zen but...

I received a letter from Verizon Wireless regarding my cell phone insurance. As I was reading the new contract, I saw some interesting things in there. There are some things that your phone is,not covered by:

A. Governmental authority (including seizures and destruction of property)
B. Nuclear hazard (including Nuclear reaction and radiation.
C. War (both declared and undeclared...Warlike action, insurrection, rebellion, revolution, usurped power or action taken by governmental authority.

Basically after you get through reading all the stuff, nothing is covered. But the above was very striking, given that I live in America with a highly stable (though crappy... Go Progressives!) government. I'd hate to seriously consider a time when something like that stuff could seriously happen here. Talk about impermanence.
