I have a question for the entire 50 states. 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.

But, if they fail the test, and they have children to support, what do
you do then? If you cut them off you would be punishing the children.
Tough choice.

Ah but no.
You give them only healthy food, and if they sell it, like they often do
with food stamps, sterilize 'em and send 'em to jail for a year.
That might send the message.

Perhaps not everywhere in the USA but Food Stamps are just about
history now. They have been replaced by an electronic benefits card.

Two effects of this are that the family does not suffer the
embarrassment of being seen using Food Stamps and the fraudulent
selling of Food Stamp benefits has been greatly reduced.

BTW, D, there is no room at the jail for them.

Then shoot 'em.
And use 'em for hog feed.


In various postings I believe that you have expressed a concern about
the erosion and of our civil rights, freedom and liberty.

Don't you see that your solution in regard to food stamps may be
construed by some as an infringement upon one or more of these areas.

No adult is entitled to support that they haven't in some way earned.
Rights are costly...............fought for and also earned.
Liberty, to do drugs and breed children you won't care for is crime.
Freedom from working for a living is nowhere guaranteed here.
How some or many construe my comments and opinions means zip.
I am firmly against unquestioned support of people who don't care to
make an effort to support themselves.
