The Psychology of the Piss Test

                Do you want to know what really pisses me off? Piss tests. There is a 1980s song by Mojo Nixon that has the chorus of "I ain't gonna pee in a cup, until Nancy drinks it up." I am here to tell you that we have come a long way since the Reagan years, and we can thank the advancements of technology for even more monitoring by Big Brother's Thoughtpolice. In this age of fear and terror, color-coded alert warnings and long lines through the security of any place that may have more than fifty people gathered at once, most American citizens seem willingly to sacrifice many of their civil liberties in exchange for a presumed national security. I wonder if this includes mandatory HIV, urinanalysis, and DNA testing. Would you submit to a DNA test, in order to receive a driver's license, voter registration, or entrance into a university? These days are not far away.  

                In the evolution of the New World Order, and the need to keep up constant surveillance on anyone with a history of violent or antisocial behavior, The Man, our criminal judicial system has become obsessed with collecting, measuring, and the consumption of urine. In a few short years, the price of urine has gone through the roof of the outhouse. The commodification of piss means a great amount of income for the Thoughtpolice and the institutions that are paid to monitor and counsel the rebels of society.

Dogs, over the centuries, have learned how to urinate on command, for the most part. Humans, on the other hand, have learned not to turn their backs on an enemy, while showing signs of weakness. Dogs have learned how to accept the humiliation without flinching. It comes with the job. Humans are just now getting used to the idea of other humans sifting through their bowel movements. Dogs have learned to be domesticated and forced to urinate when it is convenient for its owner. In the same sense, we are no longer simply policing our truck-drivers and airline pilots, occupations that require clear mind-body coordination. In most cases, in order to keep insurance rates down, most corporations require drug testing as part of the interviewing process. What does it say about a society that smells, tastes, and looks at other people's discharge for clues about their background? 

 What is so sexually arousing about watersports? Humiliation, from what the fetishists tell me. For those of you that think that I am discussing something to do with snorkeling, paddling a canoe, or skiing, you are greatly mistaken. There is nothing more humiliating than being pissed on, unless it might be being forced to pee on command, for someone's paycheck. How many people are paying their mortgages, childrens' tuition, and new sports car, on the collection, consumption, and examination of urine? Let me just say that Freud, rest his soul, would have a heyday with this one. Each day, more and more of our constitutional rights are slipping out of our grasp. If we do not begin to ask ourselves who is watching whom watching us, we may find ourselves sliding down a slippery slope towards psychological and emotional fascism.    

                Every body has become a battlefield of belief systems. It is all about the control, and ownership of freedom. We are testing you for poisons of Society and for the impurities that rob our children of their futures. What are a few civil liberties, in comparison to national security? There are no constitutional rights allowed, once inside the gates of Purgatory. We are doing this for your own protection. Now, just relax and go pee for me.
