Good to see that somebody is benefiting from drug testing, even if it's not the businesses that require the testing as much as the companies doing (and beating) the tests.

Once we start having high school students pee in a cup, can victory in the War On Drugs be far behind?

The war on drugs won’t be won until people have to take a drug test to receive a welfare check.

If I’m an employer why shouldn’t I know if employees/potential employees are using?

I’d still like to see an all-drug Olympics.

Just described my late teens to early twenties to a "T". ;-)

Just a few more threads over that sleeping giant and by the time he wakes up, he won’t be able to move.

[John Leland 1789]

Whenever a significant proportion of a society ceases to have any internal control over itself and its vices and habits, control from without becomes the rule, basically to prevent a society from killing itself off, or becoming a nation (in this case) of drug laced imbeciles.

Simply put, when people won't control themselves, others will control them.

Qualifies for a Nanny State Ping? I think so. Anytime the gubmint wants to get in your pants.....

Posted early this morning. Threads like this are easy to over look but I think it deserves a look-see.

Pee in a cup Ping for all the libs in your Libertarian ping list.

The only way to win the failed WO(s)D is to defund it.

It is a waste.

This year, the federal government has earmarked $17.9 million to underwrite high school drug testing programs. That the government is extending the totalitarian, zero-tolerance perspective of the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 to our nation’s high schools makes perfectly symmetrical sense. After all, that simplistic edict took its ideological heart from a public policy initiative initially aimed at school kids, Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign.

Well they won't be coming up here to Washington State. Our State Supreme Court just struck them down as being unconstitutional by State Constitution, which overrides any ruling of the Feds because it provides more protection than the 4th Amendment.

I guess there are some advantages to living in a liberal state, as modern conservatives generally despise the 4th Amendment.
