I think then you, and perhaps some of them, misinterpret interpret.
I see, you are just smarter than everybody else. Tell us what your constitution interpreting credentials are.
When you stop making up insults, we can continue the discussion.

We're not having a discussion, Chris. You're just making stuff up and refusing to support your position. When you get around to doing that, we can have a discussion.

I think the postal service should be put out to bid like concessions are at the ball park. We would end up with better service at a reduced cost. Until then, I will continue to go wireless when I can for my communication and financial needs..

The postal service is mandated by the constitution. You guys are all for changing the constitution if it benefits you, or at least, you think it does. But, let a liberal suggest such a thing and you're all aghast. You have every right to go wireless, but why do you think I should have to?

Disagree again. We are not against changing the Constitution through the amendment process, only against changing it through the interpretive process. A nation of laws, not of men, someone said.

The constitution Neal, does not prohibit our government from subcontracting mandated services. We go to war in private airliners when the need arises and we have Blackwater type private intelligence and security. The postal service faces 21st century competition and as more and more communication goes wireless, you could adjust what needs contracted out to meet the requirements of the constitution.

He will never get it, Pat. He has to have government take him by the hand and lead him through life.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_road, there are only two post roads:

* Albany Post Road, connects New York City to Albany, the capital of New York state
* Boston Post Road, traverses New England from New York to Boston

If according to Article 8, To establish Post Offices and Post Roads, two suffice, perhaps we could cut back to two post offices, one at then end of the Albany Post Road, and another at the end of the Boston Post Road.


Uhoh, just checked, and those two post road are no longer in service.
