FORTUNE — Two years ago, the U.S. Postal Service raised the price of a stamp by two cents to a whopping 44 cents. Then, talk of five-day delivery service and fewer post offices began to percolate. What’s next? Full-scale privatization? A buyout by FedEx (FDX) or UPS (UPS)? Or perhaps fishing licenses and stamp sales in the same location? That last one is actually a near-term possibility. When it comes to saving our mail service, everyone likes to think they have the answer. But making any major changes is more complicated than it seems.
