If he'd have done that with the junk mail I'd have been happy and supportive :-) I wonder what the free-market cost of postal mail would be for something like a simple letter. Sure, you can do this kind of thing now with Fed-Ex, but it's horribly costly. With the removal of junk mail from the equation, and the general lack of need to mail most things these days, I think you'd have long delivery times. I'm not against the idea of elimination of the postal service - but I want to hear more about what the end result would be. If we're talking $2.50 to mail a letter, with a two week delivery time...that doesn't sound very good. Sad - I don't even know what the true cost of mail delivery is. That's the problem with government operations, isn't it?
