A New Day For All Of Us
In a not too distant future the" what's in your body"inquisition may well expand into the "what's in your mind" police state. Accordingly, new testing may be required for entry into any school, for a drivers license, a passport, a bank account, a mortgage, any type of insurance,etc.,etc....What state is your body and mind in? The state of fascism ,of course. Hooray! for the UrineNation, we fear everything now.PISSING OUR FREEDOM AWAY.
Clear as Mud
Can someone clear up the trend I'm seeing of rural school districts jumping on the random drug testing band wagon? Are they being approached by drug testing companies and sold down the river? Because in my area I'm not seeing much in the way of parents or teachers bringing the issue to the table and asking for such programs. Instead I see the testing programs sliding in right under the table, while parents and teachers are leading their busy lives and not attending school board meetings. And I see that the school boards seem to prefer going about their business with little attention drawn to their actions. Or is this simply politics?.....as in it pads their resumes nicely to show they instituted a drug testing policy in their school district? I'm trying desperately to understand the motivation.
