Or saying the mail system should be. There isn't an approved list of what the government handles. Much of politics is disagreements in this. But it is still a point worth discussing, and saying that it cannot be the government's duty because it currently isn't a valid reason to stop discussion of it.

"That doesn't seem quite right, because it was still the government that allowed the private sector to take over a duty of the government." You aren't talking about discussing it, you're already calling it a duty of the government that the government allowed to be taken over. The discussion is fine, just dont start it from a stance already...

Good point. A bit late to go back and edit it.

What alt-left? Are you referring to community defense groups trying to protect their communities from Nazis? Dangerous to whom?

I believe its a new term for what used to be called the radical left. There is evidence they go beyond attacking nazi's, to attacking journalists or just people who "look" like nazis. Antifa is a good example with their huge riots and firebombing of cars during Trump's inauguration. The son of Israel's PM considers them a bigger threat to the jewish people than actual neo-nazis (surprising to me). http://www.timesofi…

Huge riots: 40 guys running around knocking over trash cans. Firebombing cars: one limo got torched at one protest that one time. Antifa: some group of random protestors, or maybe those two dudes that punched Richard Spencer. IDGAF if the son of Israel's PM prefers Duke's mayonnaise, much less his opinion of the American protest landscape.

No, I'm referring to the alt-left who attacked white supremacists, minorities and Trump supporters in Charlottesville.

Oh, so you meant the groups of counter-protestors that protected the clergy from a mob of heavily armed white supremacists? The same group that was later victims of a domestic terrorist? Alright then.
