Millions of people, everyone out for themselves.
Can this really be the only way?
No.
Here's to honor.
And to gallantry, long may it live.
Here's to doing the right thing.
To giving a damn.
Here's to the straight talkers,
who give their word, and keep it.
Here's to freedom, wherever you find it.
And to knowing the true meaning of wealth.
Here's to the brave among us.
Here's to a code of behavior
that sets certain men apart from all others.
Here's to us.
Live with Chivalry.

Interesting article from Esquire asking "Do we really want to live without the Post Office?" What do you think?

The postal service is not a federal agency. It does not cost taxpayers a dollar. It loses money only because Congress mandates that it do so. What it is is a miracle of high technology and human touch. It's what binds us together as a country.
