I just feel bad for the people who depend on their paper routes for income.
Same here. Online subscriptions are definitely the way to go. Plus, in my case, eliminating that weekly 10lbs. of papers to haul out on trash/recycle day was a huge bonus.

Since I discovered the weekly ads online, I don't even get the Sunday edition anymore.

Bethie, you're quite right about those who depend on vehicles to make their living. It's a crying shame that we can afford to be policing the entire world but can't make a difference in our own back yard.

It's my considered opinion that printed news will become completely obsolete in the foreseeable future. It's expensive to print and distribute and just one more thing the environment doesn't need-- all the way from the paper mills to the delivery. It's almost unnecessary at this junction.
