    they are the customers so they should....Or do you think getting mail service is free somehow?

    We are talking about economic optimization here....Distance is not part of the equation except when the post office calculates routes and cluster placement.

    It is an economic optimization problem you moron, not a distance optimization problem.

    WTF are you talking about? Total WOOSH, I was pointing out that Google has not been complicit in any of the NSA spying because they have captured the traffic at their ISP.

    Sounds like an issue with your local carrier or post office...My carrier picks up the mail even if I have nothing.

    Actually...you're on to something... Make the stamp prices variable by the cost to deliver to them. Office buildings, Apartments and Mailbox clusters cost 49 cents.....single Road side delivery in a dense suburb, 70 cents....single Road Side delivery in rural areas, $1.25. Similarly you can add a bump to the stamp fees based on where the pick up is...At the post office $0 additional, at a blue box, 10 cents....at a home...20 cents.

    Then institute a standard that says when costs of carrying to an area are too high (what ever that is) you communicate that delivery/pickup service will end to those homes in 1 month due to low volume. Because of the economic incentives to drive people to greater centralization, by the time it becomes to costly to deliver/ pickup mail to a certain area the large majority of people in that area will not be utilizing those modes of delivery..

    Since we are talking about the economics of the situation and not the optimization of the whole system your comment is meaningless.

    That makes absolutely no sense. The efficiency gained for the post office by having one person hit 10 homes in a single stop is far greater than that of loss of efficiency for you hitting one mail box each day on your way home from work/school/store.

    My point is that two separate species (and even Genus) can be sexually compatible and the summary is implying that it is part of the requirements for determining species boundaries.

    As to your challenge:

    Executed? You mean hit with Drone strikes while in a terrorist occupied building? If you hang out with and engage in actions that aid and support enemy combatants outside of US sovereignty then you probably should not expect to have the door kicked in and be arrested.

    there are countless discussions citing the way the police managed the crime scene poorly. They did not preserve any trace evidence (fingernails, clothing, etc). At any rate you are committing a falacy: Argument from Ignorance.

    1) Constitutional rights have nothing to do with how any of those 4 men were adjudicated.

    2) the local politics of both Melisovic and Hussein were important to the reason to bring them to trial.

    3) Qaddafi was killed by the rebels. The US was no on he ground in Libya or even running air operations (the French were running the show) so Obama has no responsibility there.

    4) Bin Laden? Really? It was a military operation in a hostile zone in a foreign country and everyone has been trying to kill the guy since 9/11. Bush would have killed him too.

    Since he did not have a 14th amendment that said there is no difference between the rights of a citizen and the rights of a non-citizen on US soil your point is irrelivant to today's politics.

    Zimmerman did kill Martin so your fake rape comparison is a poor one.

    the fact is the police treated this case like it was self defense from the start so they did a very poor job of collecting evidence....the prosecutor also screwed up by submitting Zimmerman's statement claiming self defense into evidence which meant the defense did not have to put their client on the stand to make the claim himself and then submit his story to cross examination.
