Seems like hundreds of years ago; the powers that be, thought the world was flat....... (Was it Galileo that started the rumor/idea that the world was round?)
One reason the Portuguese (probably the best navigators at the time) would not finance Columbus's westward voyage to Asia was they had a more accurate idea of the earth's circumference than Columbus, who thought it was much shorter than it actually is.
Luckily for Columbus there was a previously unknown land mass between Europe and Asia, or he never would have been heard from again. Of course he thought it was Asia.
Its a law; charge and let court decide. I don't think we can trust this guy with mail either.
If anyone can be trusted to get the mail delivered, it would be the dude that flew undetected in a no fly zone to hand deliver letters to the clowns on capitol hill.
Perhaps you would like to inform yourself on the topic.
Thanks, Old Town.
Doug Hughes, mailman, is a better American than those of you who think he should go to jail. And a hell of a lot better than most congressweasels.
And why hasn't Peter Alexander been tapped as Brian Williams' permanent replacement? He has an easy authority in his tone and manner, and the same bland/blond looks as Williams, which viewers love.
I don't know about all the flippant responses here, but if he broke a law, he should be prosecuted. After all we are a country of laws that are meant to be enforced.
The people that responded wrt Illegal aliens are quite right in their responses too. They broke our laws and should be prosecuted too.
i say about 45 year do him, he knew it was against the law before he done it, 45 years
Yet, more serious offenders of the law, are able to move next door and commit horrific crimes against innocent and vulnerable people. Where is the justice there??
Wish I had a gyrocopter to travel between Colorado Springs and Denver, that would be great to fly at 45 miles per hour and be above all that traffic. Some day, that may be the norm!!!
As for his punishment, he should do time and lose his post office job. The man is an idiot who has now opened the door for every whack job out there who wants to prove some point. I have no sympathy for him at all.
Don
LOOSE his Post Office job? He will probably get a raise! The first person to deliver a letter to Capitol Hill that actually got read!
