If you so choose, you can send a thousand letters per day via email and not run up your basic rate. You can send those letters to the far side of the planet with no extra charge. You can have them delivered not within a week or overnight but often in less than a second. You can use that same capability to speak to them face-to-face. At no extra charge, you can use it to read the local news from anywhere on earth or keep up with the news in distant cities. You can shop all over the world without burning a drop of gas You can use it to do thousands of things even $9,000 worth of stamps wouldn't even begin to cover. THANK YOU, AL GORE. YOU DA MAN ! David for good value even if people like to gripe about hard times mc,

She's equally glad to have people at each level of the system work to correct mistakes when they happen, because mistakes will happen in ANY system. The phone calls or visits don't seem to be bringing more than a band aid on a leaky system overall here, because that option HAS been used, repeatedly. Raise a hand anyone if you've repeatedly received someone else's mail over the last few years. Hands raised if you've taken to using an alternate system to assure what you're spending your hard earned dollars on mailing arrives correctly. And do I read that people are only mailing packages and not fully using the US pony express lately? This working woman wants to know her bills are paid when they are sent by US pony express, since Scarlett likes to spend money local and because she works hard for her dollar too. Nobody said they'd LIKE to see the post office close or people lose their jobs. I'd like to think that electronic mail, etc., posing such huge competition would be incentive for even better service locally despite a flawed system overall . Of course, in an effort to serve the working man(or woman) in the way one would want served. Perhaps Scarlett is misinformed as to whose hand touches her mail last, and it's truly the big dogs at the top of the organization. Hands anyone?

Your vote is way more important than common sense. I would be proud if my neighbor got a job making decent money. Doesn't seem so anymore with most people anymore. The first blamed with any thing to do with a business losing money is the poor working guy, not the way the company operates.
