'My two-bob's-worth.......
If I was applying for a job, and discovered that drug/alcohol testing
was a part of the application process, I'd withdraw my application.
If, after having already OBTAINED the job, they
tried to bring it in, I'd refuse to participate.
If they pressed the point, I'd resign on the spot.
I will NOT comply.
Ever.
And that's PRINCIPLE.
NOT guilt.' - Kat
Well said Kat. It IS PRINCIPLE.!! I absolutely agree.
Your post has made me think about 'stuff'.
We as a society are clearly split . And not just over drugs obviously. Although it is a much more important issue than your straight thinkers can perceive, sadly.
We seem to have passed the line of no return.... stuck in a inward spiral to an event horizon that seems undeniable.... sucking us all into the nightmare world that MANY MANY earlier writers and philosophers have written of.
A HUMAN BLACK HOLE. Where nothing matters except the ability to keep your head above the rising dark.
Other people in history have no doubt felt the same.
I'd like an alternative world, where money and machines of destruction do not subsume humans..
....anyhow ...
I'm glad I am no longer in the 'workforce'. No longer a 'wage slave'.
Work isn't all it's cracked up to be.!
Not if you are a 'wage slave"... a part-time, casual, no-one special.!!
Mind you -- 'work' as in 'activity to get something done, achieve something, write, build, paint' etc IS good for the pysche.
Good to be constructive - not destructive.
Seems most 'high -end' jobs actually produce nothing but #$456$%%^$%%56.
Human decency and respect has disappeared, in my lifetime it seems, or perhaps it's my illusions that have disappeared.
And.. I could go on .. Why did Police raid ALL stockists of K2 last week in SEQ , and why are rules in place to enable that?
Why do our kids seem set on killing themselves with alcohol and fast cars???
Maybe because they despair, they see no future, and want to have fun while they still can. (or they see a future that brings up visions of something like 'Metropolis'...altho I doubt they'd have seen it,, being so OLD and all.)
Unless they have been very fortunate and been able to reject the current dichotomy - and don't get sucked into the hole.
The BLACK DOG has a big hold on people, young and old, and I think it would be great for everyone's morale if the 'authorities' weren't so heavy-handed and smug in their righteousness. Regardless of how WRONG ..wrong!! they are.
Sad really.
HHOOWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL .
