Possibly due to those services charging fees and generating income tends people to envision them as a business instead of a service.

A service is just a specialized business though.

  Interesting. If there are two objects with fields a, b and c, and one object initializes them to 1, 2 and 3, while another - to 1, 2 and 4. Does it make sense to derive the second object from the first? Or the other way around? I thought business can be viewed as a specialized service. But both approaches are possible, so the choice of "default" says about our preferences.

  Yea but your critique-reply is to that of an explanation on why people are thinking illogically here. Of which, your reply seems unsound. Ie, people seem to be thinking illogically here but your comment seems to counter their illogical stance, which is already described as illogical, rather than supporting/countering what is being discussed - their pattern of thinking. To the issue at hand though; much of America is embroiled in various angles of anti-taxation. There seems to be wide support for the idea that the government is incapable of doing anything right and any amount of money going towards them is viewed in a negative light. I think government in America really needs to step up on the deliverables and communication of deliverables. Efficiency likely could be improved, i don't deny, but i also think that the lack of "Here's what you paid for, here's what you got" leads people to think they get nothing for their money. Regardless of what your personal opinions are of taxes, i think it's safe to say that America has a problem with them - and doesn't know how to solve it. This infighting over mail delivery, a staple of communication, just highlights a deeply rooted issue.
