While perusing our mail the other day, we opened a lovely note from a local couple who are good friends of ours, thanking us for inviting them to our Fourth of July party.
Our Fourth of July party in 2008, that is.
We called the friends, who bemusedly confirmed that they did indeed post the letter in question right after the event, which means that it took the Post Office just about 14 months to deliver a first-class letter across town.
Still want to entrust this sort of monolithic government bureaucracy, which is currently badly foundering (to the point that it is now considered a "high-risk" agency, according to the Government Accountability Office) despite its enviable monopoly status and in spite of being annually subsidized to the tune of hundreds of millions of our taxpayer dollars, with all of your personal and private health care decisions?
We know that we surely don't.
