The fact is drug testing is an unconstitutional infringement of the rights of our children. To require someone to prove they are not guilty of something there is not reason to suspect they have done is not in the interest of a free society. It is a fascist policy that only teaches our children to be afraid of the state, or else. Perhaps Hope would see fit to put all our children into a padded cell and strap them down in a bed so they don't hurt themselves. This would be a great safety net, don't you think, Hope? I want my children to live with as much freedom and as few fascists (even when claim to be do-gooders) as possible. - --- MAP posted-by: Josh
