i'm just wondering why they're bothering to build the centralized systems at all. when was the last time you got anything in the mail that wasn't from a company that's stuck in the twentieth century in their refusal to move online? face it - the mail service is obsolete. all anybody gets is junk mail, which is a strain on the environment. there's absolutely no reason to have a mail system at all....they're really long overdue in abolishing it...so why are they building these pointless community mailboxes instead of just shutting it down altogether?

i'm not one to whine and complain about tax dollars, and when i do i tend to direct it towards the military, but a public service that pays people to drop off fast food flyers and used car advertisements is just about the most idiotic use of public funds i can imagine.
if we want to start thinking about juggling money around, maybe we can take some of the money we save from shutting down the post service to upgrade the cable lines and/or create a universal internet program.
i'm sorry. i don't have a conservative bone in my body. destruction is positive, because it is necessary to rebuild. everything is burned down in the end. so, let us fight to tear down the past and build up the future, not to uphold the obsolete status quo.
and, if you're curious, i'll repeat myself: the only way that we will ever seize control of production is if the unemployed reach a point of critical mass. mechanization and modernization are consequently doubly positive, in that they simultaneously reduce the amount of work necessary for society to accomplish and increase the number of revolutionaries (aka unemployed people) to pave the way for technological communism.
so, keep the layoffs coming. let's get the unemployment rate rising. it's good news for freedom.
