bkeske...You chat with a few people in Germany who complain about DHL? Not a very large survey sample is it? Ever hear of heresay? Also, many economists do point to the pension requirements as unnecessarily hampering the Post Office's ability to be self-funding. Remember, the Post Office was never required or expected (until now) to be profitable. It was established (Franklin?) as a service for the people and the government. The pension requirement was done for no other reason than has already been pointed out, because one party (I didn't name it) wants to privatize the postal service. ALSO, to compare the situation the country faced over 200 years ago to the situation today when the population has gone from a few million at best to today's approximately 330 million people is not a reasonable argument. And I thought you didn't want to be involved in a silly political argument so you were going to leave it at that.
Libertarianism is a wonderful social and political philosophy that would possibly work in a country of few people. It can't work in a country as populous as ours. I equate it with Utopianism. Naive and not realistic.
