I guess that depends on whether Al Gore's goofy claim to have invented the internet is true.

Who told you that?

I bet it was those stinking Commie Liberals again!!!


Anyway, here's a random tidbit of info for you.

In 1959 the USS Barbero launched a missile with 3000 letters in it from off the coast of Florida to NAAS Mayport, Florida. It was the beginning of what would be a breakthrough in the delivery of mail, it was estimated at the time that "Before man reaches the moon, mail will be delivered within hours from New York to California, to Britain, to India or Australia by guided missiles. We stand on the threshold of rocket mail."

I could only imagine how dangerous that would seem to the Russians with all of those mail rockets flying about

Looks that way now, doesn't it? Seems the party sheep might actually have an opinion of their own. What about you?

Liberal, conservative or Greenlandish: We know it is a conspiracy:

And to break a lance for the USPS: In international comparison they still have reasonable pricing - especially when regarding the size of the US.

Well, they better not close until I get my hat from Jim!

Goverment run things don't get shut down.
They just get a bigger slice of taxpayers money.

Or get combined into another agency.
What was the last goverment agency closed down completely?

Pony Express?
Steve probably knows the answer to that from first hand experience.

The reason why mail delivered by SLCM never went beyond the test phase:
