An email I received today.
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 they see fit. In order to get that paycheck. I am required to pass a random urine test, which I have no problem with. 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 sit on their butt. Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check.

Oh yeah? I agree 2000%. ;D
I seriously think this is a good idea, but we would have to pay for the tests also.

The urine test was your employers doing, not the goob's. When you take that test, and assuming that you and all your coworkers pass, your employer gets a discount on their workman's comp insurance from their insurance carrier for showing that they have a drug free workplace. It's still an invasion of your privacy for someone else's gain no matter how you view it.
