rumors of Trystero abound

[Mark Kohut]

Perhaps y'all want what I want: socialized, subsidized mail delivery...

Back when scarfing up some henry Adams, I read the beginning of his history of
America--only the beginning..can you blame me?----and learned that in 1800 there
were seven mail deliveries a day in big cities like New York and Philly.....

7!............

Once again, imputing almost everything to TRP's genius, I have wondered if such 
a fact
learned from Adams may have led him to think about the nation-uniting post 
office meanings
and therefore a counter delivery system.......................

I dunno, David, that would be pretty smart. Might be beyond us.
