Seems a little over the top to scrap the stamps over a kid not wearing knee pads and one jumping into a pool.
Good God. Like I reminded some friends this weekend in a conversation about seat belts. I rode in the rear window from Morristown, Tn to Destin, Fl growing up. I slept like a baby until dad hit the brakes. Then we all laughed our asses off.
As someone who is rather good at cannonballs, (my best and only dive), it just shows how crazy this country has gotten.
I'm trying to figure that one out. A head first dive seems way more dangerous (still not very dangerous).
Surprisingly some of th best work on this shit is written by feminists such as Camille Paglia and Christina Sommers. There was an article in the Wall Street Journal a few months ago where it was brought up that masculine virtues - such as physical energy, manual labor, hard factual education, etc. has given way to a dominance of feminie virtues such as sensitivity, calmness, cooperation, etc. It was noted how disproportinately boys were on ADHD medication and other things as a "treatment" for actions that used to be considred natural boyish activities. I am not doing it justice, and it is a very interesting read if you cn find it.
I didn't think USPS got any taxpayer funds except some fed help to pay for pension plans or something like that.
They get tax payer money, and then make more money. The USPS isn't nearly the garbage fire it is made out to be. It is a designed failure so conservative politicians have something to prove that "government-run doesn't work" that is apples to apples comparable to a private sector industry.
No, it is more recent than that. If they gave the USPS the freedom to adjust like a business, they'd be fine. But then the "government doesn't do anything right" argument would be toothless. They have to overpay their pension funds by law, which sets them up for failure. http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-b...241325-congress-failing-the-us-postal-service http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-04-18/can-the-postal-service-be-saved
So whenever government is not adequate, it is because of evil white republicans for saber rattling during tv interviews and elections?
Everyone knows the GOP is a bunch of bumbling inbreds whose collective IQ would have them retreading tires in the bammer school system.
The great deception is party lines. All politicians are slaves to their wallet. To actually think these fools are intrepid enough to even attempt what IP is suggesting is laughable. South Park got it right when they addressed the 9/11 conspiracy crowd. Politicians are thankful you think they wield power.
Are you sure they get tax dollars? I see they don't for operating expenses - what money do they receive then?
