Exactly. Apply that same attitude to a smaller interest group that affects less people and that tolerance disappears in a real hurry. I find that to be a hair hypocritical.
As for the car thing, I've seen a number of cars that are anything but high end get a shockingly large premium attached to them.
I sell insurance for a living, the speed of the car is not the end all say all. It's a common misconception. Similar to people assuming red cars cost more to insure simply because it's red.
