I thought this was really a eye opener:
I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the Government distributes my tax money as they see fit.
In order to hold my job I have to take a random urine drug test. I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people that don't have to pass a urine drug test to get welfare or other public assistance.
If I have to pass a urine drug test to keep my job, shouldn't one have to pass a urine drug test to get public assistance? Please understand I do not have a problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do have a problem with helping people sit on their butt and do nothing.
Can you imagine the money the government would save if the people had to pass a urine drug test to get a public assistance or welfare check?

Makes a good point. Also the fucked up judicial system. If I get hit with a DUI or speeding,etc. I get a huge fine, jail time, probation whatever the judge decides.
Paris Hilton gets hit with the same thing, she does'nt get ****. The judicial system is fucked, everybody should be treated fairly when on trial, but I guess money rules this world. Or at least the United States.
