As for a "government-run program," Fed-EX, UPS, Blackwater, & a few others are doing better than the US Postal Service & many local and state police agencies, so private/government competition CAN work. To a 40+ conservative white person, "change" is the scariest word they know--Obama being accused of being a Muslim, Obama not a citizen, Obama a "Socialist" - all that crap springs from this fear of change and of losing their way of life and of losing a sense of power. And I guess they throw the word "Socialist" around because apparently, its the worst thing you can be...worse than even a child murderer or serial killer.

I'll venture to say that no private organization would ever be able to deliver a letter anywhere across the country for less than 50 cents with daily pick-up and drop-off of mail. It's really an incredible logistical task accomplished for peanuts. In fact, margins are so low that no private business would ever try.

But the whole hairy eye-ball conservative fear meme? Yep, you nailed that, though they are pretty fearful of murder and they feel their children are sexually vulnerable.; August 17, 2009 at 9:39 AM
