My Thoughts

I don't object to drug testing unemployment applicants as much as I do to testing Food Stamp recipients - which to me is not only ridiculous, but punitive to children. My objection is broader. The argument is that if you have to be drug free to work, you should have to be drug free to get unemployment benefits.Well, I think it's bull**it you have to be tested for ANY job that doesn't involve operating machinery or where lives are at stake. It's none of my employers business what I do at home, especially in a nation where booze is legal and not subject to testing. Stay out of a person's private life - period.
