I am so sure you cheat on your postage it's palpable in your every comment. ...That's what i thought ~ you don't pay postage ~ which pays for the operation of the Post Office but you still find time to kvetch and moan about the service you get for free. Like I said you people are all sickos and not very respectful of the US Constitution.

You know, usually, I see you post something completely bizarre, but I laugh and shrug you off as a utterly weird (but harmless) kook.

But every now and again you post something that makes me realize they should NEVER let you out in public.

Like the above.

Cyber Liberty is CHEATING on his postage and he's a SICKO and disrespectful of the Constitution if he does not buy stamps??!??!?

This is Mandatory Health Insurance Obama Thought. This goes against every single concept of what it is to ba a free American.

The Constitution states in Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 that Congress is empowered to "establish Post Offices and post Roads".

Nowhere does it say purchasing stamps is mandatory. Nowhere is it implied if you don't buy stamps, that you are 'cheating', so long as you do not mail something.

Dude, you are Cliff Clavin in the flesh, only more dangerous.

Oh, and Cyber Liberty pays plenty to your fat, bloated, patronage-filled useless institution. He pays Federal taxes.

There used to be a tar baby graphic people would put up when engaging in unwinable (spell check says thats not a word) discussions. We need one for what’s-his-name.

Well just doggone lazz, if you have a dispute with the Founders on the language they put in the Constitution you should take it up with them ~ get yourself an amendment.

BTW, postage stamps ~ the modern kind on paper with adhesive, etc. ~ were invented in 1840. Their intent was to shift the cost burden from the recipients to the senders. The idea swept the world.

Regarding yanking chains, every time I find somebody who still believes the USPS draws down on taxes I see a chain so I yank it.

Every now and then I find somebody who clean plum forgets that senders pay postage ~

Regarding sending mail via FedEx, you can do that if you want but the company has to pay a substantial surcharge for the privilege of carrying it ~ and that is required by the Private Express Statutes, not by USPS. They were originally passed in 1792!

There go those Founders again, doing something quixotic and not at all understandable by anyone, least of all Freepers, some of whom are ON TOP OF THIS STUFF like pangolins on a termite mound, and some of whom are just lying around the Postal Pond like fat polar bears waiting for a seal to fall out of the sky.

Now about paying taxes to USPS ~ show me Lazz, show me where you or anybody pays taxes to USPS.
