Dear Matt & Mike, Thanks for your replies. I'm especially amused by Mike's reply to the evil RJ, who continues to demonstrate that he is in favor of any Nazi ear-tagging nonsense as long as it is done in the name of terrorism prevention and by the government he claims as his own.
As Matt points out, the Useless Postal Disservice now offers worse service than hand delivery would accomplish. And at an ever greater price. So, if you want a payment to get through the mail on time, you have to remove it from the mail and send it by a private (competent) courier service. Does slowing the mail from Houston to Austin by three weeks actually do anything to prevent terrorism? No, it does not. It does, however, increase the cost of US aggression in other countries. As the Nazi agency now being organized gears up to open every piece of mail, sort through everyone's credit card data, listen to every phone call, and kick in the doors of people like me to haul us away to "you don't know where for you wouldn't know how long," we have much to look forward to: 1. The economic cost of everything will increase. 2. The deterrent effectiveness of Homeland Security will decrease from its already pitiful levels. 3. A distributed threat that would best be met by a distributed response, i.e., by individuals everywhere armed in their own defense will, instead, be met by a centralized response, and individual arms will be collected in the name of collectivization and "terrorism response." 4. Earnings by American companies will continue to dwindle. 5. The economy will go further down the drain. 6. The government will raise more tax dollars. 7. You will get less for your money. 8. Significant reversals of fortune will be widespread. Calling it "Homeland Security" doesn't make it right to ignore the USA constitution. If the response to terror attacks is to complete the elimination of individual liberty guaranteed by the constitution, then the government is doing more harm than the terrorists. More people will die as a result of badly applied "Homeland Security" thinking than died on 11 September in New York. Which is exactly what the American people seem to have asked for, if we are to take seriously the supposition that the apes in Congress actually represent the people.
