UPSTANDING CITIZENS RANDOMLY DRUG-TESTED

Let's see, in Lee Cataluna's column on May 6 she states that random 
drug testing is "for parolees and residents of halfway houses."

I guess that means that members of the active military, Reserves and 
Guard, a large number of federal and state employees, truck drivers 
with a hazmat certification, local members of several unions 
associated with the construction industry, and many, many others 
living in the Islands who have no problem with being randomly tested 
are, or have been, parolees or residents or graduates of halfway houses.

What an indiscriminate shot at so many good people trying to do their 
best to make our society better -- and this from a columnist who 
usually has a very high standard of journalism. How very depressing.
