On a related issue, I think that the post office should deliver my in-city
mail for half price.

I also think it's only reasonable that they come to my home and pick up my
outgoing mail twice each day.

I have some new ideas for re-structuring their package rates and will post
a survey about it later.   If we don't get results we'll have to fire someone!

WAKE UP!

This is not a moral issue.  They have the right to offer any service they
wish at any price they wish.  YOU have the right to use the service or not
as you see fit.

The new scheme is almost certainly intended to increase profits.  (I hear the
crowd yelling "GREED!")  Greed you say?  I have another word for it.  Some
of you may be familiar with an economic system called "Capitalism"...
