THE POSTMAN  The Unsung Hero's of Society  
 [Gone the way of the Pony  Express]
Once again we will say; Now, we have been reading a not to well covered  subject and that is the axing of [220K] Two-hundred- twenty thousand  American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex  the [EMPIRE] postal workers,  layoffs, to start it appear immediately, and to be complete by it would appear  [1 Jan 2015] and seeing as this is already mid [August 2011] that leaves  something like [40] months of layoffs, so if we divide [220K] by [40], it's  something in the neighborhood of [5.5K] Fifty-Five-Hundred layoffs from  government service per month, [1,375] One-thousand-three hundred and  seventy-five per week, or about [275] per state for [40] months, which doesn't  sound like much until you figure that these jobs are not coming back, they are  gone. But, this should have been expected not due to the down turn in the  economy of which this is just piling on to, but the fact that mass  communications has made the Postal Service a thing of the past to a greater and  greater extent, it has gone the way of the Pony  Express.
[The end of an era]
But the sad fact is that no one seems to care that its, and end of an  era, the end of something that everyone simply took for granted, the invisible  man, no one in the modern era really appreciated the Postman, the guy delivering  the mail, but let it be late, or not delivered within the normal period of  hourly delivery and the Postman is in for it. The [EMPIRE] is going to shed  itself of [1/3rd] or [33%] of its postal workforce and the public is  silent to the lost, and that is a shame. The postal system globally is one of  the truly modern miracles let's take a slight walk down memory  lane;
[Larkrise to Candleford]
Now this is not about the [EMPIRE] postal system, but it makes a good  start anyway, it is about a Post Office in Candleford the United Kingdom, and  the Post Mistress and their effects upon two communities, the farming community  of Larkrise and the towns people of Candleford, mail was not taken granted in  those days, a letter or package from France with the latest in styles, a letter  from Canada, or from a loved one on board ship, brought by another ship heading  back to the United Kingdom was something to glad about. Larkrise to Candleford  is a great series about how in one community the Postal System, was the very hub  of two communities, effecting everyone's lives, in those two communities. And,  She Who Must Be Obeyed also says that on The Little House on the Prairie served  the same purpose.
[The Letter]
Another great movie made by Hallmark Cards, when you care enough to send  the very best, about two soul mates writing across time, one living in the era  of the War of Secession, at the pivotal point of the war, the Battle of  Gettysburg, placing a letter into a desk, that another would find the era of the  computer, two star crossed lovers, that was to be denied in one era, but to be  reborn in another era, and how a Post Office built during the first era in  Boston, Massachusetts, was to have its effect upon the joining of love that time  could not over come, starts to bring home the loss of a great institution, that  everyone simply has taken for granted.
[The Miracle on 
Now, how could anyone ever forget how an agency of the United States  Government could not, and would not ever delivery mail to anyone but the  intended recipient, one Kris Kringle, know as Santa Clause, and Yes! Virginia,  there is a Santa Clause, the sight as one after another of the Postal Service  System, emptying bag after bag, of mail upon the bench of a much surprised  Federal District Judge, who ask for it and got just what he asked for. The  United States Postal Service the ultimate in service to the nation, is served  and has been served, and to a lesser extent will continue to be served by the  invisible and faceless men and women the Postmen of the Postal Service, so  invisible that everyone yaws as the War Horse of one era is pushed to the side  in the new era, and those who served the public interest, the public has little  interest in.
[The Postman]
The [EMPIRE] has fallen, there is no government, until a con man on the  run from having been drafted into an army he didn't want to be inducted into in  the first place, comes upon a dead Postman, killed while making his appointed  rounds, with mail still intact which has never been delivered. The Con Man,  comes up with an idea which he figures will get him what he needs, a place to  hide out, food, and shelter, after all everyone wants the mail, and its been a  long time coming, and if they believe that the government still exists, will  what would it hurt, a little lie on his part or an assumption on their part,  never hurt anyone, especially him. But, in the end that con created hope that  turned into a movement, and that movement connected a fallen nation, as young  Postmen and Women stood side by side at their moment of death shaking hands,  each saying how proud they were to have stood and died at that moment along side  the other. A new nation built the old fashion way, they earned it, the mail must  and will get to were it is going, the unsung hero's of a nation, the Postal  Worker.
[Conclusion]
We are now in the era of very lean and very mean, combined with  technology that has replaced, displaced, and in the case of the Postal Service  and Postal Worker, as society have without a thank-you, or even a hint of  concern turned their heads as once again Postal Workers stand proud, not  awaiting the final moment of their lives, but none the less the death of their  careers, with little if any thanks or acknowledgement from a nation they so  honorably served, and there is something sad about that, what does that say  about a nation, its people and the era into which that community is heading.  Thank-You from the bottom of my heart to each and everyone of you the unsung  hero's of the Global Community who serve the interests of the community, the  POSTMAN, here's the mail right on time!
