DRUG TESTING SHOULD BE UP TO PARENTS

Drug testing of children should be between the child and the parent - with
their own money -without intrusion by the schools or the state. Stop asking
the government to raise other people's children with my tax dollars. Making
people urinate on demand beginning when they are very young desensitizes
them to the government's war on people's privacy, personal liberties and
dignity in the name of "the drug problem" which, in reality, is a
prohibition problem. Maybe the corrupt politicians and media are required
to adhere to the party line of prohibition because law enforcement,
customs, the prison and military industrial complex, the drug testing
industry, the "drug treatment" industry, the politicians themselves and
others can't live without the budget justification and forfeiture benefits
that prohibition affords them.
