  Just read an interesting piece about USPS being in the red only because it has been bailing out the Federal Government:

  So using the USPS more won't help it from going broke. It's the Federal Gov't and stupid accounting practices (if the article above has any credence) that is the root of the Post Office's problems.

• On 23 Jun 2010 in Voting should be a right reserved for taxpayers, hackmaster said:

  It doesn't matter who gets to vote if your the results of voting do not matter. Even if McCain won, I bet we would still be in the same pickle as we find ourselves today; we just have a different colored talking head to put a face on the problems we are facing.

  "Permit me to issue and control the money of the nation and I care not who makes its laws." — Mayer Amschel Rothschild

  Even if voting did matter, the sheeple are so asleep that the vote can easily be rigged with voting machines. And even when the scandal broke out, nary a whimper from the sheeple, even with the numerous people trying to put the word out about voting machines and their fairly easy hackability.

  The sheeple are too easily distracted and divided on trivial "hot button" issues, race (e.g. illegal immigration), religion (e.g. abortion), and who gets the right to vote.

  Stop debating the issue. It is pointless.

• On 27 Jan 2010 in Haiti, hackmaster said:

  It is important to help, but I think the problem is that aid is being diverted to Haiti because the disaster has become "high profile"; because it is popular.
  Hunger persists all over the world. Here in the US alone something like 36 million people in the US face hunger every year and in the same time period 100 billion pounds of food go to waste.

  Charity was supposed to start at home. Problem is, it isn't a popular topic. It doesn't get airtime.

  Also, scams abound during disasters. Scammers trying to leech the donations for themselves. The Red Cross is one such scamming outfit: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/07/30/eveningnews/main516886.shtml
  (of course ymmv, depeding on the chapter. There are good eggs and bad eggs.)
