Bush must be publicly drug tested. |
|
If people working minimum wage jobs at Wally World, convenience stores, etc. and kids in high schools that want to play sports have to submit to mandatory drug testing, why shouldn't the "leader" of the "free" world be required to submit? People working these slave labor paying jobs and kids playing football don't hold the power to destroy the Earth in their hands. Don't we deserve to be reassured that our "fearless leader" is never under the influence?
It's amazing that the higher the wages and salaries earned are,the more power over others lives you hold the less restricted your life becomes. How many people making over $50,000 a year are ever drug tested besides pilots or train engineers? Does anyone have information on these figures available? How about personal experiences? Please post them.
I have friends that work in social services that are aware they could be tested, but no one ever has been. I also have friends that work minimum wage jobs that have been tested regularly? Does this make sense to anyone?
Who gives a damn if the clerk at the KwikFill smoked a joint last night? They have absolutely no effect on your life, other than possibly giving you the wrong change, which happens all the time without having smoked anything ever.
Drug testing for minimum wage jobs is simply another way to control the population in a fascist state. It is used to isolate and stigmatize anyone that refuses to bend to the ignorance fed to the public over the "evils" of marijuana.
The government lies to our children about the effects of pot, the kids try it, find out it's NOT what they were told, then think other drugs may be alright to try also, creating a very dangerous situation for our children.
They push the lie that marijuana is the "gateway" drug when almost every single child that smokes pot smoked cigarettes and drank ALCOHOL way before they ever tried marijuana.
No, children should NOT be smoking marijuana, but they should not be drinking alcohol either. It is high time (pun intended) that adults stop being forced to live in a child's world. It used to be that kids understood that there were things they had to grow up to do, now they have "graduations" and "proms" for kindergarten children.
The Lunatic says he didn't admit to using marijuana "because I don't want some little kid doing what I did", then let him be a shining example to the American kids and show them how even he is willing to sacrifice his privacy in the new Amerikan nazi states.
Or does he have something to hide??? Sorry, I forgot, he's high on Jesus. :evilgrin:
I know that this is only fantasy. The Lunatic would always "pass" any test given, but wouldn't it be wonderful to have the chains that are starting to drag us everyday citizens into the depths of despair be released and to be free once more from the fascism that has taken over this once great nation?
Thanks for listening folks! :smoke: :toast: :smoke: :hi: :yourock:

2. One universal standard for all federal employees. |
|
My suggestion is you visit your representative's office and ask them to help you research the current federal statutes for drug testing of federal employees.
Eliminate all redundancies.
Create one universal law that applies to all federal employees and contrat employees.

5. Not just Bush. Other high officials also. They should be tested |
|
monthly during their tenure for the sake of Governmental integrity and confidence. Of course, Bush,Cheney and Rove would rig that process as well. Folks, when the fox is in the hen-house theirs a problem.

7. Yes! test all of Congress! |
|
drug testing goes against out civil rights, let's violate their civil rights too, since they voted in this ridiculous rule! I wonder if other coutries drug test, or if it's just America! Americans are so paranoid of cannabis, but they can all get boozed up, noooo problem.
