Bah, Humbug!
No, Virginia, there is no longer a Santa Claus. He has become a child molester – at least as far as the Post office is concerned.

It's Obama's fault, part of his secret Islamic agenda to ruin Christmas.

RTFA... They're not cancelling the program, just making it harder for convicted sex offenders to get the child's name and address. Alaska is not willing to comply.

This seems whacky to me.
Since when do pedophiles need to infiltrate the postal service to get a child's name and address? There are children running about all over the place. If some sick prick wants to stalk and/or abduct one, there must be scads of ways to go about it. Shit, in some places you can buy them. Of course, the guys who wear the red suit in the shopping malls should be carefully checked and monitored.

The Post Office is going broke, it can't afford any more employees to remove addresses from the letters that a pervert volunteer might see. Only postal employees are free of perversions.

Yeah ... postal employees have a great reputation for emotional and psychological health.
Recently laid-off ex-employees, now that's another story.

The restrictions are separating the name & address from the letter, and giving it a code number, then matching the name and address with the reply letter by computer. Complicated, time consuming, expensive, and in my opinion, of dubious value.

Yeah, didn't Charles Bukowski work for the postal service? A model citizen if there ever were...

That's because they get so many ex-military. Especially the ones the military have cut loose, because they're too scary.
