Interesting article...I liked the idea of them helping with the Census.

In the comments, one person suggested setting up a guaranteed secure email and e-pay system. If they could make that work, it would also be very interesting.

I just imagine my mailman doing his route. "Dave, here is you mail. What's in the plain brown wrapping? Anyway, I also have your medicine and wonder if you have a moment to answer a few questions for me for the 2010 Census..."

As noted above, interesting article but I still firmly believe that the only viable solution is the privatization of the Post Office.
