This is very important! The reason we need to keep and support our post office is our freedom of speech....Traditional mail may someday be the only private conversation we are allowed if we don't protect our other privacy like the internet, phone calls, e-mails and public spaces. That alone gives us reason to fight for it and support it. Then there is the little problem of the whole idea that things break or can be broken, but the mailman has been reaching all of us for centuries now even we had nothing but feet and horses to carry us around. That is a system we want as a baseline service.
