SO MANY PROBLEMS

Since many Americans face the possible disastrous consequences of this
"voodoo science" called drug testing, every day, they make it their
business to stay informed.

No medical test known to man is 100 percent accurate. None. Why do you
think most doctors refuse these drug tests? We base employment decisions,
people's futures and careers, and educational opportunities, to name a few,
on a test that common sense tells us is not and cannot be totally reliable.

There are so many problems involving drug testing that your paper cannot
begin to report them all. Whether it is legal substances and food products
that cause false positives, lab errors, adulteration or the concocted
numbers, the nation's news media fails to report it. Why? Probably the same
reason we have drug testing in the first place: money and plenty of it.

A prediction: If you think the tobacco settlement is "big money", wait till
the lid's blown off the drug testing industry. The liabilities pale in
comparison.
