I spent two years driving cab in Denver. At the beginning of every month, the black section of town would fill up with calls. One month, I decided to find out why. I ran three in a row which turned out to be a black man who would get in my cab and we would drive to the nearest place where he could get a bucket of chicken for his family. I guess this is what they lived for.
Does the lady in ther letter also feel that they should not be able to purchase alcohol and tobacco with their welfare check?? Most of the people on welfare are now welfare generations and are milking the system. Drug testing them will only make things worse.
I wonder if she was properly educated about drug testing if she would have a problem with it. She could eat a poppy seed muffin or take some ibuprofen before going into work that day and just happen to test positive for opiates or cannabinoids. That would put her under scrutiny by her employer and possibly cost her the job she most dearly enjoys. It is her type of attitude that has led this country's two fastest growing industries to become corrections and collections. Is it any wonder we are in the mess we are??
She quite obviously does not understand that the safest drug known to man is also the easiest detectable. Cannabis can stay in your system up to 30 days where cocaine, methamphetamine, and many others are gone within 3 days. Many people on welfare are already part of the justice system anyway which means they live under scrutiny from their probation officer. I am still trying to figure out where all these stupid ass laws came from and why they are still in existence.
Kameelyun was correct in his response. She definitely supports a facist government just as the Germans supported Hitler. The stupidity lives on.
If she wants to change things for the better in this country, I suggest she come over to our side.
