True Test
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 they see fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test, which I have no problem with.
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 sit on their ass. Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

It's bad enough that you gotta take a P test! I don't like them. I've only had to take one in 54 years and I resented it. It doesn't matter that I passed it, that's not the point. It's my body and unless I want no one else should have a right to mess with it. Just because you are in a job that requires a P test don't take it out on everybody else. If you don't like it get another job that doesn't require a P test! I hope you never have to take public aid and don't say you never will. I was at a job for 33 years and in 2003 I got laid off. I had to go on the dole for 7 months. It's 2007 and I've got a decent job now but I'm still reeling from it. I haven't been able to make the money I did before I was laid off and have used up my retirement funds to support my family. Things have finally settled down but I'll have to work until I drop. Thank God for public aid/unemployment whatever you want to call it. It at least fed us and we were able to keep our home for those 7 months. There are plenty of people getting help from the government who don't deserve the humilation of having to P into a cup for some help. Many of these people paid taxes and worked hard for many years so they are deserving of the help. For them it is not a hand out. I hope you never find yourself in that position. It's no fun.

Remember my last urine test! Cops pulled me over for a breathalyser. When I refused they said that I'd have to provide a blood sample.....
"Nope....it's contrary to my religious beliefs!"
"In that case," they said: " you will have to give us a urine sample."
Okay....and then you should have to drink it to see how much pi$$ I actually drank."

Isn't taking a urine test self incrimination ? I'd take the fifth on that one.

Actually, I'd GO fifth...by then first, second, third & fourth would've muddied the 'waters' enough to cloud mine.
