"but now there�s a mailbox
on a country gravel road
bearing my lettered name.
One I now view
with unexpected caution.
Fact is,
I didn't get away."

This says it all right here. Really powerful. And to think, once people who lived out in the country just dreaded getting their mailboxes smashed by kids driving by.

At least they have caught the person responsible. Did you hear his reasoning behind this? He said he was "trying to make a smiley face" on the map!!!

Ah, society is so twisted. I think if I were to live on the space station, there'd still be someone somewhere thinking of ways to put a flaming bag of crap on my door step!!
