The fact of the matter is still that there should be equity in drug testing when you are receiving money from employment or from government programs. If people really are having a hard time of it, then they wouldn't test positive anyway, and if a parent tests positive, should they be allowed to be raising children. Pat, you know that I'm all for helping those who need AND deserve the help and in that way I'll always be a liberal, much to the chagrin of my conservative friends (who by the way like a spirited discussion rather than "unfriending" and blocking me - Even Dave). But, when that help goes to people I see driving hopped up Denalis and Benz's, I have a problem with that. I drive a 1988 Chevy Celebrity, and I've never failed a drug test (came close once but that's another story and had nothing to do with social programs). That's because I can't afford another car, let alone drugs. I had to scrape to buy a bottle of rum for "Dirty Bananas" last week; really sucks. <br /><br />But that's not what this is about. If those people with the Denalis and Benz's fail a drug test, don't you feel it's better that their children (who supposedly need the help) go to some family member who is able to raise them in a law abiding, God fearing manner? There would be a lot less people walking around with their pants halfway down their asses if THEY had been raised that way.<br /><br />Sorry, my right wing is showing under my jacket.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04928848144144932236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482763008785895942.post-5890482001950639032011-08-06T00:46:31.754-04:002011-08-06T00:46:31.754-04:00also, i don't agree with the testing of welfar...also, i don't agree with the testing of welfare recipients either. denying the basics of life is cruel. yes, i understand that there are a lot of children going without because of some parents' addiction albeit drugs/alcohol or cigarettes. in each of those cases perhaps the children shouldn't be with those parents. regardless of testing or not, there are always illegal ways to find money to support bad habits.Michelle Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482763008785895942.post-84809684759673604622011-08-06T00:41:54.258-04:002011-08-06T00:41:54.258-04:00lol i wonder what Lily would think about the legal...lol i wonder what Lily would think about the legal injection sites and the fact now the health board wants to hand out 'safe & clean' crack pipes where i live!Michelle Enoreply@blogger.com
