Letters: Highlighting honesty in politics

I remember the movie "Bulworth," and I applaud columnist Lane Filler for highlighting the intelligence of this classic film and the need for a transparent political figure ["What if candidates told the truth?," Opinion, Oct. 29].

If only politicians who ran in this election were as honest as the arts.

Lane Filler says that "post offices on every corner that people hardly visit" are wasteful. My local post office in Farmingdale is nearly always busy. The staff is very competent and cheerful, and serves us securely, economically and conveniently.

I only wish the post office were open earlier in the morning and later in the evening. Every day the mail arrives in timely fashion at my front door and a letter to my father in Hawaii is no more costly than sending my subscription payment to Newsday. What a wonderful and dependable system!
