DRUG TESTING SHOWS IRONY OF THE 'PROBLEM'
Rich Figel's column did a great job of synopsizing the situation with
regard to our nation's drug war. The one thing he didn't do, though,
was to define the nature of the "drug problem" itself. The nature of
the problem is this: These drug users are so crafty, stealthy and
having such a minimal impact on society that we can't even tell who
the vast majority of them are. But if we have to resort to testing
their waste fluid ( on pain of unemployment ) just to determine who
they are, then exactly how much of a "problem" can they possibly be?
