This is not a poem. Nor is it in iambic pentameter.

My name is a dactyl followed by a spondee.
According to Aleister Crowley, this is the best combinaton to have a well-known, famous name.

REM just broke up.
It's the end of the world as we know it.

George Washington never chopped down a cherry tree.
He did, however, grow hemp.
It was for rope and paper.
No, he wasn't getting high.
Or at least, I have no proof he was getting high.
I also have no proof he wasn't getting high.
Russel's Teapot, anyone?

Think about how you communicate with people who are not in front of you.
You can call them on a telephone.
You can use the internet in a variety of ways.
You can use the postal service.
That's about it.
So, let's privatize the post office. Or let it fail.
That means the only forms of communication are owned by private corporations.
And a private corporation has no responsibility to allow you to say what you want to who you want.
There is no freedom of speech in the corporate world.
You think you can't be silenced?

Honestly, the PO only started having problems when it lost its Congressional funding 30 or so years ago. It's one of the few responsibilities of government specifically enumerated in the Constitution, yet its not funded and people want it to fail?

I just don't get it.

The idea that the government should operate as a business is one of the dumbest that's ever come down the pipes. Making a profit shouldn't be one of the goals of government.
