The following viral email is just social non sequitur, but it does beg the following questions.
Is the defining litmus test for wing-nut membership a fixation on bodily functions? I know at one level we are but organic machines, but we have evolved to consciousness of our existence, right? So why do the most spiteful of us still wallow in imagery of procreation and elimination matters? Have we come no further than that? And if so, then what’s the point of civilization, et cetera?

THE JOB – URINE TEST
(Whoever wrote this one deserves a HUGE pat on the back!)
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 it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem.
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 sitting on their A–, doing drugs, while I work. . . .
Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
Pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don’t. Hope you all will pass it along, though. Some thing has to change in this country — and soon!!!!!!!
I guess we could title that program, ‘Urine or You’re Out’.
