It ain't???

 We even use REAL DOLLARS here and

That's because it's too cold there to wear burkhas and turbans,
so you obviously can't be terroristic foreigners.

 Of course when we

As am I, having spent a number of months there on a few occasions.

Aren't the USPS rates competitive?

That's no reason.

Let me tell you. When I was staying at the Temple of Refuge, or
whatever they call it (actually, I was 50 yards from there), it
was most irritating to hear "cocorico" what seemed like six
hundred thousand times every morning. I think the protection
should be off for those who can hunt the damned things with
aboriginal tools, stone axes, spears, slingshots, thrown rocks,
whatever.

      Title: Roast Lemon & Coriander Chicken
 Categories: Poultry
      Yield: 4 Servings

      6    Cloves garlic -- minced
      1    Lemon -- zest only
      2 ts Cumin
      1 tb Coriander
           Salt and pepper
      6 tb Olive oil
      2    Chicken (4 lb each)
      3    Lemon -- halved
      8    Sprigs cilantro

  Make a spice paste by combining the garlic, lemon zest, cumin,
  coriander, salt, pepper, and halve the olive oil.  Set aside. Preheat
  the oven to 400. Remove the giblets from the package inside the
  cavity of the chickens and scatter over the bottom of a large
  roasting pan. Remove visible fat from around the cavities.  Wash
  inside and out and pat dry. Rub plenty of salt and pepper into the
  walls of the cavitites. Run your fingers under the skin of the
  breasts and legs of each chicken, gently separating it from the meat.
  Rub the spice paste under the skin, coating as much of the meat as
  you can reach.  Rub the outside of the chicken, breast side down, in
  the roasting pan.  Roast for 30 minutes.  Turn the chickens breast
  side up. Squeeze the lemons all over the chickens and stuff the empty
  lemon halves into the cavities of the chickens along with the
  cilantro sprigs. Reduce the oven temp to 350 and continue roasting
  the chickens for another 1 1/2 hours.  Let rest for 10 minutes before
  carving. Cut chicken into thigh, drumstick, wing, breast half and
  back sections. Serve 2 breasts, 2 drumsticks and 2 thighs.  Reserve 2
  backs, 2 thighs and 4 wings for Lemon Chicken Couscous.    Reserve at
  least 1/2 cup drippings for Lemon Chicken Couscous.
