DRUG TESTS FOR CONGRESS

A discussion in my doctor's waiting room produced a thoughtful,
sensible idea.

Some members of Congress, being an embarrassment with many a moral or
ethical lapse in behavior that is attributed to addiction, should be
subject to the same test many employers use: a routine, frequent urine
test for substance abuse.

If there are excuses we are to accept as solid reasons for unsound
thinking in morals or ethics, we must remember these people are also
making laws that govern, many of which some of us think have been
terribly wrong lately.
