The Government vs Private Industry

Socialized medicine etc. Now here is a tale. I sent a Certified Return receipt letter from my town to the adjoining town. About three miles away. The destination was on the largest highway in the town. Can't miss it. I also sent it by UPS, a private company. UPS got it there in twelve hours with a return receipt.

The USPS did the following with the very same package:

Yes, same address, but the USPS spent almost a week shuttling the typed address of a well known entity on a major highway to no where. That is our Government. And you want these folks to manage your medical care. The could not find your appendix and would throw you out on the street! What would Benjamin Franklin think! This is our Government workers folks!
