"Everything that everyone is afraid of has already happened: The fragility of capitalism, which we don't want to admit; the loss of the empire of the United States; and American exceptionalism. In fact, American exceptionalism is that we are exceptionally backward in about fifteen different categories, from education to infrastructure. But we're in a stage of denial: we want to re-establish things as they used to be, to put the country back where it was." - James Hillman

urine-test
  • Story Photo

    Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem.

    What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.
    Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?
    Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet.

    I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their A--, doing drugs, while I work. . . .
    Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

    Something has to change in this country -- and soon!!!!!!!

    I guess we could title that program, 'Urine or You're Out'.
