I have a new theory, for those of you who are familiar with the postage theory, this is much better! See yesterday I discovered that in Mexico even though there are public bathrooms, they cost 25cents. At first I was like why? and then I go tthinking about it, if the United States had us pay a quarter to use a public toilet we could raise a lot of money (it would also cut down on the amount of change we carry around). This money could be used for many things, eradicating disease, feeding the hungry, giving books to children, making the bathrooms smell better. I don't really care how the money is used but I think this is a valid idea. There is nothing in the Bill of Rights that says we have the right to free toilets wherever we happen to be at that moment. Just something to think about the next time you use a free toilet.

Ang - You should really checkout the musical Urinetown. It was about this very subject, pay toliets and what happens to a community when some people can't pay to use the toliets. Plus it's darn funny. But you make some valid points. Although you would think that price hikes in postage would result in better service at the post office and alas, that is not the case!
