Well, take a guy who had a charge of cocaine possession when he was 18. Now he's 33, married, has 2 kids, has been in stable employment and hasn't been in trouble with the law since then. The possession charge is preventing him from getting a promotion at work. Something like this could qualify.

As opposed to a guy who has never had a cocaine conviction, and isn't likely to take a trip down cocaine memory lane after he's promoted?

When I was in elementary school, the white school nurse would only check for lice on the white children, since apparently blacks cannot become infested with lice. No one objected.

As opposed to a guy who has never had a cocaine conviction, and isn't likely to take a trip down cocaine memory lane after he's promoted?

Or ... as opposed to a guy who has NO IDEA how to recognize the signs of cocaine addiction in colleagues, and whose lack of experience with the hard ugliness of cocaine addiction rather makes him the better possibility to become a cocaine user if he falls in with the wrong crowd.

And the guy with the 15 yr conviction, with a spotless record since that time, is likely to take that trip?
