Too many thoughts.

I have become convinced that the reason I am unemployed is that I value competance, and that just doesn't fit in with the overall business/ employer philosophy of the moment. For example, I have recieved 1 out of 7-8 pieces of mail that I know were sdent to me in the past month by the unemployment people. 1 out of 7-8. With stats like that they would be sent back down to the minors if they were baseball players. What other profession can consider 1 out of 7 a success?

Terrorism. Terrorists can afford to send out 7 guys and only have one success.

The USPS is now officially a terrorist organization. We no longer have to worry about Al-Quaida mailing us anthrax and chain letters, we now have to worry that the USPS will realize the opower it has over our daily lives. The really scary part is that Al-quaida at least has some half witted religious doctrine to kill people over. The USPS just wants to get paid. (That's why they keep raising rates.. even when their costs go down.) This means they are open to service the highest bidders whims.

The cell phone CO. wants you to sign up for a direct debit service so they can take your money without presenting you a bill first. A service that might sound like a good idea if you're paying late charges all the time because the USPS "loses" the bill every month.

The politician who promises to cut welfare spending realizes that if people don't get their checks, they can't cash them. A few key promised votes in the next term and said politian keeps his promise.

You know what does get through? Circulars for Wal-mart, target and their ilk. Further proof that this conspiracy theory may be more accurate than most.
