Lock Them Up?

When Al Gore, back in 2000, talked about "lock-boxes," I don't think mailboxes were what he had in mind.

The top image was posted on Facebook; the second one is from Mark Evanier's blog--it's the mailbox outside his local post office. I checked some of the ones near me--one that had been there a long time is now gone, another is still unlocked. (But I live in a strongly Republican neighborhood.)
