Men in Black 2. I can neither confirm nor deny. Thank you all for using the mail. It's a labor intensive system, with super computers sorting the easy part of the mail, ( that work far better than I expected ) and a host of guys & gals that then fix the problems the computer gives us....against orders from upper management. Management has "brochure-itis" in that a company sells them on a system with catch phrases like "will reduce labor costs 30%". Billions are spent, 30% of the work force is shuffled away, then the machines start to work ( note the logical sequence) giving an honest labor savings of up to 6%. Technology, isn't it grand? |

You left out the part about where management then complains about you not getting your work done on time anymore. |

Crackhead- Go to the American Motorcyclist, and Blue Ribbon web sites. The document very well how the Lefties are doing all they can to ban all mechanized (even bicycles) travel in areas that have been used for a very long time. Right now they are going after huge areas in Utah, Montana, Coclorado and Wyoming. This is against the wishes of the people who live, and off of, those states. They are using the Wilderness Act and even though those areas don't meet the requirements they aren't letting that stop them. The Lefties want to do everyting they can to stop vehicle travel, mining and oil exploration that they will bankrupt everone in their path to do it. I don't know too many people that could go to Canyonlands in Utah and hike the 170mi. White Rim Trail that will be off limits if this passes. Even if you aren't an off road rider we all need to stand together to fight this because it also takes tax money out of the stream, costs local jobs. And once they get this they won't stop. What happens when they decide to go after something dear to you? Maybe no one will be left to stand beside you! |

"I don't know too many people that could go to Canyonlands in Utah and hike the 170mi." I guess you haven't done one of my mountain bike trips. If vehicles stick to the trails i don't care that they are there. The problem is the A$$ holes that go off trail and tear everything up. There are some places on the east coast on the West VA and VA line that stopped vehicle traffic because people wouldn't stick to the trails. They went into areas were towns would get their water. Yellowstone has the same problem with snowmobiles. People wouldn't stick the the trails and would go off into breeding areas. So the park now requires that you go on guided tours. I like the idea of requiring GPS trackers and if you go off trail, your rig is confiscated. |

I agree about staying on the trails but do you realize that you won't even be able to ride the Slickrock or any other trails on your mountain bike? Much less have gasoline to get there? |

They would confiscate your bikes. Somehow steel shod horses that weigh much more that a bike and rider are OK though. |

Listen to Aesquire, he speaketh the truth. I also work for the Post Office. I work on the machinery that processes the mail. |
