BEN FRANKLIN'S BEST IDEA - POSTAL SERVICE

We need to save the US Postal Service. Too many of the email documents we send are forgeries. We need an inexpensive way to send original documents.

Ben was right. The Postal Service is one of the ways we bind the citizens of our country together. The Postal Service is especially important in small communities.

Postal Service is part of our justice system.The US courts use the Postal Service to reliably send originals and copies of court documents.

Email is a great new method of communication. But it contributed to the real estate fraud that we are all still paying for. It became so easy to email documents that companies forgot about the possibility of forgery. Real estate agents had no trouble falsifying documents because they could use Photo Shop to change documents.

I am seeing increasing numbers of documents that are possible forgeries, but there is no way to tell because we no longer think that seeing the original is important.

I recommend that all originals be signed in blue ink. For some reason, blue ink does not copy well, so that it is easy to spot a copy of a blue signature.

IT IS STUPID TO TREAT THE POSTAL SERVICE AS IF IT WERE A PROFITABLE BUSINESS. Ben was right, the Postal Service is something that the government provides to its citizens.
