There's more to this than just your personal consumption: absentee voting is likely to be pretty high this year and the mail system is common amongst the incarcerated to speak with their lawyers and loved ones.

We've never voted on allowing anti-competitive behavior before, why start now? You just really want your gadgets, don't you?
