well, how 'bout that? a poll runnin' amok on facebook pages worldwide askin' folks the simplest of questions: should welfare recipients be tested fer drugs prior to receivin' benefits and randomly? it asked fer a simple "yes" or "no" response... apparently some folks have difficulty with the simplest of instructions coz they ranted & raved!
hmm, let me see now... if ya have a "real" job, one is subjected to an initial drug test and background check. if one fails either, no job = no income. so why the heck not?
i read with great humor the protestors (no doubt they are recipients doin' drugs/alcohol) and how it was unconstitutional, an invasion of one's rights.
here's the deal in my book. if yer worried about yer "rights" bein' violated, lemme enlighten ya jest a bit. ya have the "right" to get a JOB, not a "right" to be a drug or alcohol addict on someone else's dime. these folks have youngun's that are sufferin' the consequences due to these folks & their inability to be responsible adults.
i've written my idea of a solution to the problem - make 'em work fer it. one cannot honestly tell me there's nothin' in their community that couldn't use cleaned up, tended, ol' folks to visit, youngun's to mentor, etc. most anybody can push a broom.....
