Okay, this TIPS thing has me pissed off. If you haven't heard about it, it's Dubya's idea to organize a spy network for American's to spy on one another. You know, like the Stasi in East Germany or bloody everyone in Maoist China. Anyway, it seems that not everyone's bowing down to take it up the butt. The USPS is now refusing to help out. God bless them.

From the article:
Attorney General John Ashcroft ( news - web sites)'s spokeswoman said that the program, still in the development stage, would set up people to spy upon one another in their homes and communities.
Barbara Comstock said the agency had no intention for people — such as utility workers — to enter or have access to the homes of individuals. The idea is to organize information from people whose jobs take them through neighborhoods, along the coasts and highways and on public transit, she said.
Said Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge: "The last thing we want is Americans spying on Americans. That's just not what the president is all about, and not what the TIPS program is all about."
The ACLU said the concept was worrisome, nonetheless. <"worrisiome" is an understatement>
