Let me get this straight, Luke. You would rather risk contracting AIDS and/or other STD's than work for McDonald's or other major firms? Keep in mind that the above consequences are much faster - and deadly - than eating meat...or working for "those nasty corporate fatcats". Did you have absolute democracy when you were going to school? When you were at home with Mom and Dad? And it isn't just the firms that have a no illegal drugs policy. If a cop catches you with with pot, you are sure to be arrested, and if convicted, there's a damn good chance you'll be imprisoned longer than most murderers. No, it isn't a fair sentence, but then again you made the choice to break the law. The law has also been known to crack down on prostitutes...just a thought. In jail, you ain't got no freedom!!! [I don't like the idea of having to take a crap right out in the open...on a metal toilet!!!]
Now, let's take a look at China, Singapore, Iraq, and the others. You have to watch your mouth, and you could get thrown in jail just for spitting on the sidewalk. In Iraq, merely being born can be a crime. Funny, I don't think it's so bad over here working for a large firm.
And when I leave the office for the day, that's where freedom starts, and most firms do not dictate to their employees do's and don'ts on their spare time. I pretty much do as I please...but I don't break the law. The thought of getting spaced out scares the shit out of me. I have been drunk a few times in the past...it's no picnic coming out of it.
