The USPS is a big joke...

245. OK--that was the 2nd link in my post, above. No need to swear, either.

They aren't "the fucking backbone" but they are a key part of an integrated carrier defensive capability. Everyone on the vessel plays a key role--even the guy making the cinnamon rolls for breakfast. No small jobs, only small people, and all that.

You may say you don't hate me, but your words are pretty hateful, I gotta say. Vitriolic. Not sure what you were hoping to achieve when you fired for effect like that. You have a right to your opinion, but I'm sure you won't be surprised when I say I don't agree with your point of view.

I've never said anything rude or nasty to you--I don't even know who you are! Yet you come at me with a rant about how your whole family hates me...? OK, whatever. I think maybe you should think about not taking this internet thing quite so seriously.

Did you have a different user name previously, or something?

I don't know where you get all this "superior attitude...we are all to blame" foolishness. I spend a good part of my time volunteering in places where a lot of keyboard activists wouldn't go. I put my money (what I have, anyway, I'm not rich) --and my time--where my mouth is. As I said, I live simply (and I've lived even more simply in my hardscrabble youth--so I have a feeling I know how most people live, from poor to rich and in-between), I do what I can to help people out, I keep my carbon footprint low, and even recycle aggressively! But hey, haters gonna hate, dislikers gonna dislike--can't please everyone, gotta please yourself!
