Post #90,914 by Ashton 3/23/03 10:20:04 PM Reply	It's just another of our many euphemisms.. Congrats, Canada for nipping that little atrocity in the bud! What the pee test means is: Our War on Drugs cha cha cha - is prime hypocrisy of the sort we usually reserve for weaker opponents: we'll send the small-time guy with a month's worth of goods for own use -- to jail for 30+ years and then defoliate Colombia, Peru -- whoever lets our thugs in.. all rather than face the Fact that, Daily life in Murica has become so odious to these tens of millions of Murican Users: they will risk the Puritan Laws to get goods anyway! Anything to escape the environment. Bizness perceives how widespread is this desire to 'escape' -- and that often listed (in the "from" column) are: the cubicle, overtime and other dehumanizing aspects of the modrin Office and its petty make-work diet of really stupid rituals, its mangled TLA-besotted language of institutional Lying yada yada. Ergo - the pee test. Ashton who suggests: the extra $$ just don't make up for the fucked lying and ever-so Boring culture which made those $$-things into its God.

Actually, it looks quite likely that we're going to decrim the stuff up here, amazingly enough. I think they looked at the numbers and trade and figured that they'd be better off putting it in the open and taxing it than trying to prevent it... it would take a lot of the violence out of the business and net the state some cash. As the song says, "Everyone's a winner baby that's the truth!" --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

If an employer in a free coutry determines he does not want employees who smoke dope on their own time, they are entitled. I am also entitle to say I dont want to take a pee test. they are not coerced. thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] questions, help?

But let's assume for the sake of argument that the virtuous employer hath implemented the policy all by hisself. Why stop with dope? Why not test for...religious belief? Why not require proof of regular attendance at the Krischun Church of Your Choice? How about enforced vegetarianism? How about sound moral practices in video rentals (employer requires you to sign a form empowering him to query your rental records at the local video emporium...oh dear, oh dear, you rented the Director's Cut of Cycle Sluts over the Christmas holiday). But it's a free country, and if you don't think the employer should be allowed to regulate your conduct off the clock, you can always quit. Finding another gig in this economy should be a piece of cake, and if it's not, well, prolonged joblessness is no biggie, eh box? Pee tests...Stalin himself would grin with derision. cordially, [edit: minor typo] "Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist." Edited by rcareaga March 24, 2003, 12:14:57 AM EST Expand All History
