Dennis:
 
I have to say that since the days that I worked as a student in Barry  
Goldwater's campaign, through the time that I slugged through the jungles of  
Vietnam, to years of work in counter-terrorism no one has ever called me a  
"Communist". Fascist once or twice, but never a Communist. I am sure you earned 
 the 
right to do that by fighting in either the jungles with me, or in Somalia  and 
a few other places, or in the desert country of the Middle East, or some  
other diligent service to the country either first in the Cold War or  
subsequently in the Middle East or in our struggle against terrorism and  
terrorist 
attacks upon U. S. interests. Maybe you will enlighten us on how and  when you 
earned the right to attach that label on anyone. I know all about free  speech, 
but there is also the responsibility to temper that right with sound  judgement 
lest you become all that you seem to oppose.
 
Frankly, I don't give a damn if the U.S. government runs the Postal  Service. 
I just hate special interest contractors who profit at taxpayer's  expense. 
Remember, it is not voluntary taxation. I'm not sure how  self-publishing 
postage for packages differs from self-publishing stamps for  first class mail, 
but 
I'll explore that possibility and if it is in fact a free  way to get postage 
at my computer without paying Pitney Bowes or some other  company for the 
privilege of saving the government and taxpayers the costs of  printing and 
publishing stamps, etc. In the meantime perhaps you can perhaps  explain how 
disagreeing with your interpretation of free enterprise makes me a  Communist? 
Nor 
do I believe I am one of those Viva Cuba Libre. In fact when I  was out there 
attempting to control the adverse effects of the Marialito  invasion of the 
U.S. by Cuba I don't remember you participating in that  anti-Communist 
sparring 
event either.
 
And, you deliberately mischaracterize my comment that when the government,  
for better or worse, decides with public ratification to provide a public  
service it should not facilitate the creation of industries that piggy-back off 
 
of that service and through a cooperative effort with the government agency  
involved whether it is Haliburton or Pitney Bowes.
 
But I sincerely appreciate your concern for fighting my brand of Communism  
with great risk to your carpal tunnel processes. That is probably what true  
American patriotism and the Minuteman spirit is really about.
