Compared to people in many places on Earth, we Americans have it pretty easy. Subsequently, it’s not hard for us to take important things for granted.

Sure, it all might be more expensive than not that long ago, but our ability to take advantage of these things is far greater than billions of others around the world.

The decline of the Postal Service

2 weeks ago | houstonherald.com | Doug Davison

I’m pretty sure many people would agree with the statement that the United States Postal Service is in utter disarray. Who hasn’t wondered what is going on at times when a package or letter takes forever and a day to travel 80 miles or less? Or who hasn’t felt somewhat disappointed when you have a simple question and receive a bungling, convoluted answer?
