I have had issues with USPS, but I've also had issues with UPS and Fedex, so...I'm not sure competition is necessarily the answer, although I would not rule that out either as a possible solution to the problem.  I also think there might be a trade-off there, where customer service might improve, but without the regulated monopoly, prices could rise.  Then I'll have to pay more for the shipping all those CDs I order.  Cry


But with libertarian policies regarding minimal regulation in place, you wouldn't have to worry about the government shutting down music streaming sites! Tongue
 
I'm going to have to concede that point.  On the other hand, I'm still one of those old-fashioned types who likes my music to come in a physical form. 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

It's fun that you say science, then you provide those links.

Actually, I said "what if" - the fact that my post was immediately jumped on as being obviously unscientific kind of adds to the case being made of cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias in the Conservative camp.

You're a cool dude. I'd like to sit down and have a beer with you.
Which I can't say for Romney, and I'd be too tempted to punch him in has smug, greedy face. Obama would probably be a genuinely nice guy and maybe could talk with him about sports.
See? Rep bashing and some Dem nicenessLOL

I would also prefer the beer with Bama over Romney. 

But I would prefer a beer with W Bush over Kerry or Gore. See? Beerness like-ability is also relative Tongue

I think the really shocking news is that in the first article, an absolute majority of the people answering the poll believed in at least one of these four conspiracy theories. Where did all the normal people go?

Now I'm going to make an assumption here, but as a fanatically devout Muslim, I'm going to assume Osama didn't drink.

I'd have a vodka with Stalin. I'm pretty sure he was the coolest guy when totally drunk.

Well, if we're talking dead people...Winston Churchill for sure.  Of course, some of you may know I've actually met him before in my 11th incarnation.  Wink
