This is only a little off-topic, since this blog is supported by a magazine whose publishers are grappling with ever-increasing postal rates. This postal rate hike is a concern because postal regulators have accepted a proposal from media giant Time Warner that would stifle small and independent publishers in America. The plan unfairly burdens smaller publishers with higher postage rates while locking in special privileges for bigger media companies.
Bill Moyers sent an SOS for small independent magazines in this YouTube video on the pending rate hike by the USPS monopoly.
