Yep, simply amazing how a quazi-governmental organiztion that handles
billions of pieces of mail a day could loose one book?

Worse yet, I bet Davie never recieved a single letter during his time with
an exclusive government organization.

Name one country that you think has a better postal service than the
USA. You cannot because we are numero uno. Not the Jerrys not the
Brits not the Japannese.

Name one company in the private sector that can deliver a letter to
your house from California or any other place in the 50 states for 44
cents. Not FedEx not Brown no one. Period.

How about when Americans do stuff right or are the best there is we
recognize it and get off the soapbox.?

The post office has been operating at a loss for, how long? *It's just
like Medicare and Medicaid which are both running in the red.

Does your police department turn a profit? Your fire department?
Parks? Highway? Water treatment? Waste water treatment? County
board? State senate? Navy?

I suggest that you describe the situation to the Post Office manager
where your carrier works and ask that he look into it and get back to
you.

since when does 'operating at a loss' equal 'doing a bad job'? All three
examples given are tasked with responsibilities that no private corporation
would touch.
Medicare and Medicaid run at a much lower administrative overhead than
private health insurers. The post office delivers stuff at a far lower rate
than a private carrier would charge, if anyone could even be found willing
to deliver tons of bulk mail, not to mention letters and greeting cards,
worldwide. You have no clue about what you discuss, sometimes, Louie.

The only thing government does well is make war, and it has not done
that for many, many years. You think health care is expensive. Wait
until it is free, Tom. I'm on my last days. Don't have too much time
left. You and yours, as well as my children, are the ones I feel sorry
for. If revising health care is so very important, and I think it is,
why the big rush? Do it slowly, thoughtfully, carefully, and with a
majority of the PEOPLE in favor. More than 60% of the adults in the
U.S. don't want this health care bill. Don't do it this way. Don't
rush into it. "We must have a bill out of Congress by Christmas," is
plain insanity. YOU will be sorry. I won't be around when the ****
hits the fan, thank God, but you will. d;o)

You want a system like the UK and Canada? Read this: I pulled this
article from the "Investor's Business Daily." It provides some
interesting stats from a survey by the UN International Health
Organization.

*
Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:
U.S.*********** 65% (two cancers for me)

I don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare"
comparable to England or Canada .

Remember old Harry Reid saying, "Edlerly Americans must learn to accept
the inconveniences of old age." Really? The inconvieniences? Fine.
Like having to **** 3 times a night? No problem. Like achy bones and
sore feet? No problem. We should ship his sorry ass to Canada or the
UK. And, btw, do you think members of Congress will have the same
benefits the rest of us do?

I may not know what the hell I am talking about half the time, but I do
know who I vote for, and I've only twice voted for a pig in a poke.
You seem to make a general practice of it.

Davey, Louie, Asshole, Pig, Imbecile, Dumbass, Idiot, (put your

yours have to pay for this giant gluster****! And pay you will, and
