My mistake. I guess I need to re-read the constitution. Interestingly, Lysander Spooner, who challenged the postal monopoly with a private company in the early 19th century emphasized the fact that Constitution, even though it allowed a post office, did not mandate a monopoly. Sumner owned a company that delivered mail seven times a week and at lower price than the USPS. Ultimately, the USPS drove him out of business by cutting their price. For this reason, some say that Sumner is the "father of cheap postage." See here for his essay on the topic.

I'm glad we agree on the VOA. It says something about the efficiency of the U.S. government that Arabs everywhere prefer Al Jazeera to the lame U.S. alternative.

The Left calls anything “wrong” which exposes them.
