So my friend Ryan posted this on his blog on Myspace and I thought it was a great idea. So with his premission I am reposting it here to see what everyone else thinks.
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?

The path revisited - from angle 47
Life is a funny thing. So many times you think you finally are getting a leg up on everything. But no, there comes along life to remind you that you don't have a step up. Life reminds you that your so called control is no control at all. Even more so here's a couple of extra speed bumps, lets see how you handle those. Am I the only one that sometimes wants to be able to grab life kick its rear into the next year? I have this feeling though that if I could really do that to life it would come right back at me and ask me if that was my best shot and give me one right back. Maybe I'm the only crazy one to think to challenge life at its core, but it wouldn't be the first time for me to be the one with the crazy idea. Ah but then again this is just visit to the path from angle 47.
