Far from obsolete. Be careful what you wish for. Dismantle the postal infrastructure as it exists, and what do you do when nothing electronic works? Power failures, national disasters...ask anyone that's lived through flooding or tornadoes or hurricanes that took everything they owned, what was the first thing that made them feel like life was getting back to normal, and they'll tell you it was mail delivery to their ravaged neighborhoods.

They should be declared a private company. Let them fight for their place in corporate America.
