It's kind of like a car accident. Everyone's got to look. Even the person stuck in the traffic that complained the whole time about "if people would stop looking the traffic would move," then when they drive by, they look. Its ingrained in our dna.

For the record, I can only take blame for being one of the 4177 views. Saw it was a train wreak waiting to happen, I ditched that train.

but don't really spend enough time here to get into drawn out exchanges.

USPS is under attack by repigs; they want to destroy it and make everything into private business, as they've done with jails and much other.

I'm wondering when they'll claim they don't want to subsidize reading by others aND try to privatize libraries to keep the riff raff from reading and learning.

repigs..lol


I had to move away from a diff forum, way too many psychotic rwnj's.

Yes the USPS MUST be the source of all problems in this nation [sarc]

Will they ever offer to FIX anything instead of attacking things that work??.
I fear a nation with Wall St controlled, privatized for profit mail, water bills and SS.

That thread is now up to over 290 replies, the overwhelming majority still laughing at the troll.

Threads like this one just drive traffic to ones like those.
