I hate people who complain about stamp prices

Not that I know anyone who has, but still.

Think about it. For less than 50 cents, your letter will be transported anywhere in the united states, usually within several days. Now think of all the things that have to be done to get that letter there. Say, you're in NYC, and you're mailing me a letter at Champlain in Burlington, Vermont.

1. Someone has to pick up the letter from the mailbox
2. It must be transported to the post office. (fuel cost)
3. Sorted, and sent to a distribution center
4. Loaded onto a plane to Burlington as cargo (cargo cost)
5. Sorted in Burlington
6. Brought to my school

Now that I've put things into perspective, doesn't it seem like a bargain?
