That sucks that your mail is being tampered with. There is no excuse for it.
Not the same field of work, but perhaps a parallel situation. A hospital in Windsor, ON had an employee who was snooping in patient records that she did not need to be in (e.g., to directly support the patient's care).
She got canned.
Losing one's job is not to be taken lightly, but then, the responsibilities and trust placed in an employee are not to be taken lightly either.
Working at a hospital, post office, police department, school, etc. should be seen as a privilege, and treated as such.
Your mail being damaged is a direct assault upon your freedoms. And everyone else's freedoms, too. Whether or not anybody on this board or at that postal station likes or dislikes the views expressed in your Rush magazine is absolutely immaterial.
I would hope that any Rush-haters would recognize that it is NOT okay to trash a magazine just because it features Rush.
I am not a fan of RL or his commentaries, but I am incensed that this has happened to your stuff.
