I've found it pointless to argue with a drug warrior. In their minds, there is a whole set of footnotes written in invisible ink on the Bill of Rights that say "unless you are trying to prevent someone from using drugs."
Excellent point, Mysterio...after all, the #1 concern for protecting American life & safety is to prevent drug users or those who refuse to take drug tests from being allowed to have a job, correct?
Never mind the terrorists...that's just a minor issue: the REAL threats are from folks like Frncis Light!
My wife used to work for a major supermarket chain here in Northeast Louisiana and over the years had taken many random urine tests.
Then along comes a "new girl" and in about 3 - 5 weeks was screwing the boss (store mgr) and moves right on up. She thinks it is a great idea for everyone to be tested by their hair follicles.
My wife had been a hard working, loyal employee for many years and was insulted that the store management wanted to cut her hair (a piece of it) and she called me crying and wanted to know what to do...she was very insulted and hurt.
I made more than enough money for us to live on and i told her that if she wanted to quit, to tell the store mgr and his his floozy to kiss her ass as she walked out the door.
that was in 1997 and she has not worked outside the home since. The lady was soon fired and the store manager was transferred to south louisiana on probation.
Yes, she agreed to their drug testing policy when she hired on, but after so many years, just felt insulted that she couldn't be trusted to pee in a cup.
worked out great for us, cause the little grandbabies always had someone to love them one on one while their moms worked.
