Well, only you know your lifestyle and the methods you employ to alternately tolerate and/or improve your everyday existence. And, as long as you are not harming or endangering anyone beside yourself, I fervently feel that is your business.

But you may want to do some searches regarding this in recent news archives; some of the new homeland security proposals are suggesting mail carriers become goverment observers--of an alarming amount of different information--from reading material subscriptions, to packages received, to 'suspicious-looking' individuals, to how many people are in one apartment, to whether people are keeping farm animals in their back yard.

I am not sure how far these proposals have gone or even if they are legal yet, but we all know hall monitors who have grown up to be what they always dreamed of: zealots.

I sure don't know how to advise you from this point, though, and it would be arrogant of me to try. Does anyone else have some suggestions, please ?

I also would like to know what to watch for.
