REINVENT SOCIETY

The mail carrier leaves the mailbox door ajar, but only when it rains.  Why?

Because he is an angry man, trapped in his job.  Think of his thousand customers let down by soggy mail.  How can we reinvent our society so that the mailman is not a trapped, angry man, and so we can live without being required to retrieve soggy deposits from mailboxes?  

The mail carrier buried my tax refund envelope deep in the advertising sheets.  How many hundreds of checks get lost because of him? 

Ever notice how sometimes the spinach in the tub of spinach is crushed and mangled like someone stomped on it?  And sometimes the salmon in the can of salmon is likewise abused?  How can we reinvent our society so that our sisters and brothers do not loathe their lives?

You cannot pay someone to want to do packing or mail sorting for 8 to 10 hours a day.  And no amount of “training” will make a human want to be a machine.

Personally, I only need mail coming to my snail mailbox once a week.  I have email.

And I’ll add a word about killing trees. I almost never read the junk mail. I might read something that advocates saving the forests, but I would much rather read that as an email or a tweet. Who would kill a tree and waste energy to send me a paper letter to advocate saving trees?

Let’s reinvent society sooner rather than later.
