(infomercial)
The other day at the Post Office, USA, I saw a notice announcing a postage increase of .02 for 1st class letters and .01 for postcards, taking place in January 2006.

(irrelevant musing)
Seems like a tough circle for the Postal Service (fewer sales, higher prices?!) With each increase, people may be more inclined to ditch snail mail and go digital. As it is, I pay most of my bills online and send documents/invoices/receipts via email. This basically just leaves Thank You notes to get a postal stamp from my end. If this trend continues (taking this to the logically absurd extreme), this could leave nothing but Thank You notes and junk mail/catalogues in the mailbox. Those who open the mail may begin to confuse Gratitude with Impulse Shopping. Would this infuse more Heart into Shopping? Would it inspire Impulse Gratitude?

(challenge, take as a Call to Action if you dare)
Could we, collectively, send so many Thank You notes that they would out-number the catalogues and unsolicited mailers arriving in everyone’s mailbox?!?! :)
