To be fair, AMTRAK failed because it was scene as the "poor man's" method of transportation, in a country where gas was cheap and not owning a car is basically not an option unless you live in a city... and because it's a pain in the ass to get anywhere you actually would want to go, because of how very few stations there are and where those stations are.

Is it supposed to compete? I know I want my mail service to be complete - to get my postcard from the Yukon to my Newfie friend Rob without bankrupting me. Who the smurf would use FedEx for that?

Fedex can't send a regular letter/postcard. It has to be an "emergency urgent package" that just happens to be flat (which means it will have to be expensive), because that's the legal loophole that allows them to do business. It's all the more disgusting that the post office does so horribly because it is illegal to compete with the USPS.
Back in the 90s, my grandfather (who was then an administrator in the Texas Medical Center in Houston) told me that there was a guy running a super-cheap service where he'd just drive between all the hospitals couriering things they would otherwise have to send through the mail. The hospitals all started setting aside the mail that would usually go to other hospitals (and take a day or two to get there) and saved money and time by paying this guy for his service, and he'd get it there in a couple hours since he was constantly making the rounds. That went fine until one hospital administrator didn't want to pay and when the guy stopped picking up mail at that hospital, the administrator turned him in to the authorities, put him out of business.
If the USPS wasn't propped up by government funds, it couldn't stay in business. But that doesn't mean that there couldn't be a private sector solution.

Obama's green jobs czar is a man by the name of Van Jones. He is a civil rights, human rights, and environmental activist. Take a listen to some of the comments Jones had to say about white environmentalists in January of 2008.
Did you catch that? "Because they don't have a racial justice frame ... white polluters steered poison into minority communities." OWW! Pardon me, I just rolled my eyes so hard I bruised an optic nerve.
Also, earlier this year Jones told an audience that Republicans are blocking Barack Obama's proposals because they are "assholes."
That huge wildfire that's eating SoCal? It could have been prevented with a controlled burn months ago. Environmental nut-jobs stopped it.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer says that he will not vote for healthcare reform if it requires increasing taxes or deficit spending. Well there goes that plan.
We already knew the White House estimates a $9 trillion deficit. What they didn't tell us is that this number was based on brisk economic growth for a solid decade.
The government may "restrict fast food establishments near school grounds and public playgrounds" in order to combat childhood obesity. Because what else are parents for?
Could Barack Obama get another Supreme Court justice to nominate soon? There are rumors that John Paul Stevens is close to retiring.
A new poll shows that a majority of independent voters now disapprove of Barack Obama's handling of the presidency.
It's been six months since Congress passed the economic stimulus plan. The question is ... how's it working out for ya?
Government school parents are upset that this video called "I Pledge" is being shown to their children.
How is a British liquor company benefiting from US taxpayer stimulus money? I'll tell you how ...
When conservatives top the chats of the New York Times bestsellers lists, don't expect the mainstream media to cover it.
If you want to talk about Health Insurance reform, this is the kind of stuff we need to be addressing. And like I (and every other right minded individual on the subject) said before, health care cost reform is meaningless without tort reform.

There are literally 4 fast food places within 500 feet of my old high school. All 4 sprung up within less than a year of it opening. All are were PACKED during lunchtime. Are you honestly going to tell me that those business aren't preying on the student's inability to make a healthy lifestyle choice? Besides, childhood obesity wouldn't be a problem if parents were actually able to make healthy choices for their children.
Considering children are still required to swear the pledge of allegiance in most of the country, I'd say this is par for the course. Government indoctrination is what public school is for. It's clearly not about giving our children the skills they need to compete anymore.
I'm calling bullshit on this one. During the Bush years, I couldn't turn on TV without seeing coverage or reviews of the latest right wing book, where as I had to turn on something like The Daily Show to hear anything about left wing stuff. This is simply following the mainstream media's tendency to keep in step with the current administration's views to protect their access.

The Democrat healthcare bill will increase Medicare drug coverage premiums by 20%. So much for lowering costs.

No no... what I mean is that so far, parents of the current generation have shown an incredibly lack of discipline in the choices they make for their children. It's not that there aren't healthy alternatives, because there are (and the school lunch is usually such an option), but rather that the parents have shown an inability to make such choices because it ether takes too much time to do, costs too much, or requires to much work in convincing the kids to do it.
We don't like to work. - I could argue that our fascination with overworking has lead to a generation of kids who feel no connection with their parents and who were forced to raise themselves, resulting in a value set that is at best somewhat selfish and at worse utterly self-absorbed. Working hard is fine if you own your own business, because you will immediately see results for that work... however, if you work for somebody else, working hard is just going to get more and more work thrust upon you while you never see a dime for your efforts. You want people to start working hard again? Give them a reason to, by rewarding them for that work.
Nobody wants to sacrifice. - Its hard to make sacrifices when you don't exactly have a lot of money laying around to begin with. Calling on the American Middle and Lower classes to make sacrifices is bullshit when many of those people live paycheck to paycheck already. It sounds to me like the Upper Class is trying to deflect the issue of them not doing enough for the country by saying the rest of us aren't doing as much as they are... which is a fucking fallacy: Of course they aren't you twits. They don't have the ability to give as much as you do and what they lose effects them much more harshly. Stop being selfish and fucking give to the country that made your success possible.
We're uninformed. - Pretty much this, though that mainly stems for the inherently complicated nature of politics. It can be incredibly difficult to sift through the information and find the truth of the matter (especially when nobody can fucking agree what the truth is) so I understand why some people need it spoon-fed to them.
iCulture. - I'm not even going to into this... suffice to say, it's the fault of the Baby Boomers and the culture they fostered in their selfish desires. Apparently raising children in an environment where they never need to worry about anything turns them into a bunch of self jerks. Who knew?

Ah, so we're in agreement that kids eating junk is a failure of parenting, not of evil fast food.
While I agree that reward must be commensurate with contribution, I think that what the guy was going for here was something I've seen since I was 18: People want to just get paid for showing up. I had a friend whose father owned an Olive Garden, and refused to hire young people if they were white. He much preferred to hire hispanics because, and I quote him, "they WANT to work." Your average american today wants the paycheck but balks at the work.
Redistribution of wealth under threat of force from the federal government is not "sacrifice." When I hear "nobody wants to sacrifice," I think of the lady ahead of me in line paying for her groceries with food stamps while she plays with her iPhone. People who whine about their limited cash reserves yet can't live without cable, cell phones, internet access, xbox, nike, fubu. It feeds back down into the iCulture one below, which we're pretty much on the same page about I think.
And a great many of us can't even be bothered to open our mouths for the spoon.
Indeed. It's something I've often said - conflict and struggle is what advances humanity. Where we get into trouble is when those who have never known want, crisis or war get in charge of things. Their lack of perspective dooms us all.
Somewhat. It is fairly common for fast food places to build in predatory locations however, and keeping them away from schools would do a lot to help with "poor nutrition" side of the obesity problem. It's easy to sneak off campus for lunch and avoid getting caught if your doing it on foot. It's much harder when you need to drive there and your school keeps security cameras on the exits to grab your license plate number as you enter/leave.

Actually, Asians from different parts of Asia rarely tend to get along and usually take more pride in their former nationality than their "Asian-ness". It's only Blacks who view their culture as encompassing all the various cultures of their part of the world... but that only applies to ones who are born in America.

There's obviously something wrong with that, and its most likely a reactionary effect from the work hard and push it to the limit mentality of the previous generation.

Well, part of it is also that too many people consider certain kinds of work "beneath them," as opposed to the attitude of previous years that said "work is work." This also probably has a fair amount to do with our illegal immigrant problem.
Heck, I've been guilty about that as well... I was unemployed for many months (this was before I was a forum poster, mind you) where I refused to even apply for jobs that were not I.T. related. Of course, when the money finally ran out, I suddenly became a lot less discerning.
