I do not think we should allow ourselves sweat over this. Let the Postal Service BURN all Black Heritage Stamps!! If they want, let them burn all things that have Black on them. Afterall its their money!

The reality is we should not allow these spammers (those who write these kind of mail) to take advantage of us.

Malanding
