Say what you will, and I'll just add this. Since job entry drug testing in the oilfield, it has become a much safer place to work.

OK, I'll go along with that- not as many paper-cuts & smashed toes. But tell me this- how is that Deepwater Horizon thingie workin out for the Oil Biz?
Before ya go labeling me a Head, I'm not ,yet, but if my arthritis keeps getting worse my retirement years may be very laid-back.

Maybe you should ask the eleven guys who haven't made it home yet.

Or the tens of thousands who are going to be out of work because of the non-drug tested politicians who had a media (also not drug-tested) driven kneejerk reaction to a terrible accident.

Or maybe you should ask the tens of thousands more who are going to be wishing in one hand while their jobs teeter on the brink and their businesses go under because the money isn't there to keep them alive, because someone didn't make that money offshore.

I am sure the rig would have been so much better off with everyone on board stoned. (/s, as if!)

It is an already inherently dangerous industry without having some twit who is not in full posession of their mental faculties making a mess of things, otherwise such incidents might be more common industry wide.
