No argument here. As long as work peformance is the yardstick.

"As long as work peformance is the yardstick."

My argument has always been that performance is the measurement. Illegal drugs is a stupid idea. Prohibition didn't work for alcohol so what makes people think it will work for any other drug?

It is a liberal philosophy that banning guns will cure violent crime, so what makes conservatives who hate drugs think that banning drugs will remove drug abuse and use?

If people have the right and power to not associate with people who do drugs, then drug use will curb itself. For the most part, we do refuse to associate with druggies and drugs are not a common problem in society. Parts of society may have drug problems, but after over three decades of making such drugs illegal, the use is still there bigger than it ever was.
