Just to end all this drug test silliness. Who would do the test, who would decide when, what would be prohibited (could Gary Johnson even run for President?), what States drug laws would apply, how do we know the test is honest and accurate?
Stop this silly talk right now.
Some good points in there for 2016. I especially like how do we know the test is honest and accurate. You couldn't be more correct because the system is corrupt to the core.
Apply that logic to the presidential race and you'll know why I'll be voting for Trump. He's the only candidate in my lifetime that is not entrenched in the system they want to have supreme power over. I see a lot of positives in somebody with the potential to start cleaning up the corruption the political class has finely honed to their advantage at the expense of the middle class. I'm going to guess that intensifying it works for you but I would hope not.
Ask yourself why you truly don't want drug testing for those in high political office and try to be honest with yourself. Then, look at your response right here I've quoted. Now, apply that to what direction you want the nation to go in.
But maybe in the last two elections you voted based on skin color and this one is gonad based. Maybe a candidate that hauled her ovaries over the finish line is what is important to you.
I used to work for an enormous corporation based in Detroit. One day while at home, back when the Internet was in it's infancy, I desired to call a plant in the heart of Detroit. I opened up the phone book and lo and behold, I found that there was four plus pages of listings for various plants and more importantly, offshoots of this corporation. It was mind boggling and if you recall how small the type was in a phone book, maybe you can get the grasp of it. I realized right then that this corporation had their fingers in hundreds and perhaps thousands of different companies that were suppliers to the parent corporation.
It suddenly dawned on me why this corporation made what were seemingly bad decisions over and over and over. Why it was so damned difficult to accomplish even the simplest of changes. Changes that were glaringly obvious were good things to do. Nothing could be accomplished because changing the way the corporation interacted with X company affected A, Q, Z and T company. Changing something at R company affected three others and so on. Since all these companies were owned by execs (or their family or friends) of the corporation I worked for, paralysis was the name of the game. The whole structure was so damned complex, so interwoven that it was nearly impossible to determine what the ramifications would be from a simple change that on its surface appeared to be positive.
This company eventually filed for bankruptcy and our government bailed them out.
Who will bail out the United States of America if we allow the corruption, the greed, the graft to continue and multiply?
