Seems to me USPS has managed to achieve higher rates all on their own.  And 
that junk mail is subsidized *by* us, it's not a subsidy *to* us.

On the other hand, if we did away with the legal monopoly USPS enjoys, we 
might actually see rates decline once FedEx and UPS entered the market.

Of course, if we de-monopolized the mail system, how long would it be 
before MS took over and had us all buying Passport-enabled postage 
chips?  It could be the next great virus vector. :-)
