awakening

Well, today ended up being a good day. Despite the rain I went to see my son in Illinois. My wife and I took him to see Watchmen. I have to say it was a great movie! The left will hate it and that makes it even better! I had an awakening of sorts today. I have worked for the post office as a letter carrier for the past ten years. I've been in the union for that entire time and really haven't had too many run ins with the hierarchy. This last election cycle really brought to light just how uninformed the membership is. It's no big secret that the past year has been devastating for the postal service. High gas prices and declining mail volume have caused the service to talk about cutting service. The irony in all of this is that the union endorsed Obama. If you are in a union this comes as no big surprise. Unions have always been pro-democrat.When you think about it the taxes, cap and trade and energy policies being pushed by the President is eventually going to be the end of the Postal Service! Big business and small businesses create the advertising mail that the service counts on to prosper. When you raise taxes on business then business has to make cuts and all too often it cuts advertising! This whole global warming hoax is also going to hurt. While the left impose restrictions on emissions and search for alternatives to drilling for our own oil the price of gas is bound to rise to levels seen this past summer further hampering the Postal Services ability to stay afloat. I hope all who have read this and are in the union think for themselves not for your union!
