The Postage Stamp Sticker Conspiracy

I'm not entirely unconvinced that the convenience and ease of use resulting from the self-adhesive/non-lick-em postage stamps is not a conspiracy of the US Postal System to get parents of small, sticker-addicted children to buy more stamps.

If you haven't already developed the filmstrip in your mind of why I'm complaining about this non-issue today, the following line that I uttered a few minutes ago should provide some persistence of vision...
"I know those are stickers sweetie, but those are Mommy and Daddy's stickers, not for you to decorate Franny's doggie crate with."We paid about $22 for her crate. With the first class stamps that now decorate it, it's worth about double that.

Back to the post office...although I probably won't buy another roll of stamps again. Been there, done that, got a tee-shirt.
