keira knightly- The Imitatation game and Begin again

i saw both movies(imitation game last night). She was better in Begin Again. Both movies are good but i liked begin Again more. Begin Again is the same director as "Once". Watch them both you won't be disappointed. Keira had to sing in Begin Again" talk about a stretch.

USPS- Incredible service match that fedex and UPS

I bought an item off of ebay and had it accidentally shipped to the wrong address. I freaked out and called USPS. They guided me to "intercept a package". This was a priority mail item and had tracking. I followed the package to Denver where i actually called the post office. The women at the post office answered the phone BEFORE business hours. She asked me where the package was going and my name.

She then went down to th driver and the package had not come upstairs yet. When it did the route person walked it upstairs and gave it to the supervisor whom then CALLED me took my address and the rerouted the package to me. Instead of getting it in 2 days i will get it in 4 days.

I probably could have let the system reroute it to me but i called and look what they did.

UPS and Fedex ground who have taken 5 days to get the package to me originally. God knows how long it woulld have taken it to finally get it to me and how much they would have charged.

You are right republicans Government can never do anything right. sarcasm

BRAVO USPS.

The electoral college- the greatest vote suppressor ever

What does a system say when the most important vote you can cast is deemed worthless. This is the beginning of disenfranchising the voter and it continues to the point until people give up. The two people most responsible for killing voting are Nixon and Reagan. one made all politicians crooks and the second made government the enemy.

Reagan, states rights and the withering of the U.S.

I think when history is finally understood we will see that Reagan and the republicans are central to the breakdown of the nation as a united country. Since Reagan really started the states right movement we have seen the breakdown of the U.S. as a single entity. A strong federal government is needed to have us be one and all pulling in the same direction. Now we have a divided country with 50 fiefdoms. There is nothing uniting us. We experimented with a weak central government before and it was called the Articles of Confederation.

Finally, can anyone explain why the administration of voting is not a federal function. It is a right and not a privilege and it's my belief that anything that is guaranteed in the constitution should be administered by the federal government. We have a history of abuse by the states.
