Video:States Propose Welfare Drug Tests

states propose welfare drug tests


article submitted by rhuitron.

out of work? need government help? you’re going to have to consider rehab first in some states, if new proposed legislation is passed.

at least eight states have lawmakers who are in favor of random drug testing for people who receive food states, unemployment, or other forms of welfare. critics are worried that such policies would discourage people from seeking help, but those n favor say that welfare recipients should be working towards a future without government aid, which is difficult to do if money is going towards drugs.

west virginia lawmaker craig blair, who started the website notwithmytaxdollars.com says that many jobs require drug testing, so it isn’t a huge leap to require it for welfare recipients as well.

west virginia isn’t the only state that is actively considering welfare drug testing laws. other legislation has been introduced to limit who gets government help:


* yesterday, the kansas house of representations approved a welfare drug testing mandate. it now goes before the state senate.
* oklahoma passed a measure last month that requires drug testing for those receiving tanf benefits. missouri and hawaii are also both considering the same regulations.
* in florida, government officials are considering a bill that would institute random unemployment drug testing.
* minnesota may soon have new laws requiring drug testing for all who get public assistance from the state.


early this year, drug testing laws failed in arizona, but that may not be the end of such proposals. in the past 20 years, such laws have also failed in other states, including in michigan, where critics said it violated the 4th amendment’s protection against unreasonable search and seizure. states must also consider the cost of such programs, since drug testing is fairly expensive on a mass level.

in december, over 31.7 million people received food stamps and unemployment rates were higher than they have been since the 1960s. already, drug testing is required in six states for public assistance if you are a convicted felon or parolee.

Video:Anger Over Proposed Ban on Topless Women

anger over proposed ban on topless women


article submitted by gremwood.

a christian lawmaker has provoked an angry response after he proposed legislation that would ban women from sunbathing topless on sydney's beaches.

bare breasts have been a common sight on the city's beaches for decades.

critics were quick to condemn the measure - first reported tuesday on the front page of the city's the daily telegraph newspaper - as unnecessary and a distraction from real

leaders of the two major parties in the new south wales state parliament, where the bill will be introduced in the coming weeks, have effectively killed it by arguing that local governments should be left to decide the boundaries of decent exposure.

but reverend fred nile, president of the minor christian democratic party and an outspoken legislator, contends it is an important clarification to the existing law that bans nudity.

australian local councils can fine people for being naked on beaches not designated as nudist beaches, but none considers topless women to be naked.

'the law should be clear,' nile was quoted as telling the daily telegraph.

'it must say: "exposure of women's breasts on beaches will be prohibited,"' he added. he was not immediately available for comment on tuesday.

mayor sally betts, whose waverley council area includes sydney's famous bondi beach, said she was aghast that state lawmakers would consider cracking down on topless sunbathing when sydney faced far greater social problems.

'we've got alcohol-related violence, we've got underage drinking and anti-social behavior in the public domain - those are really important issues,' betts told fairfax radio network, adding that her constituents never complained about topless women.

Video:Comics: Archie Andrews Finally Proposes... to Veronica!

comics: archie andrews finally proposes... to veronica!

after 68 years of waffling, archie andrews has made his choice. it’s the raven-haired heiress over the girl next door, veronica lodge over betty cooper.

just eight days after archie comics announced that archie would finally choose between his two high-school hotties, the word is out: archie gets down on bended knee to present veronica with his proposal and a ring while poor betty looks on and wipes away a tear. veronica replies to the proposal with a resounding “yes!”

the red-haired all-american boy’s choice is likely to upset many archie fans. ever since news that archie would get married broke, they have been filling the message boards at archiecomics.com with their opinions on which girl should get the ring.

it’s not even close. a strong majority feel wholesome betty should get the nod over snooty veronica.

the issue also generated lively discussion on community news web site newsvine, which had tallied nearly 15,000 votes on the issue by midday friday, more than 80 percent of which were for “he should have picked betty.”

“veronica is the gal you marry the first time,” explained one of betty’s many supporters. “later, when you want a real relationship, you marry a betty.” another agreed: “sexy doesn’t last; wholesome does.”

the dark-haired heiress to the lodge zillions did have her partisans, however: “it's about time the brunette wins over the blonde!” exulted one. but even among them, many suspected archie of having picked mammon over cupid. “choose money over real love,” urged one cynic. “maybe he took the recession into consideration,” opined another.

mind you, “archie” no. 600 will deal only with the engagement. whether archie and veronica actually get hitched as the story plays out over several issues remains to be seen. given archie’s history of indecision, would it be unreasonable to assume that there are more plot twists ahead?
