Mr. Figard:
Give us a break. Your statement was not about using drugs it was about
manditory drug testing. I am as opposed to drugs as any conservative.
But having studied a good bit of analytical chemistry and having known
many medical technologists I have serious reservations about the effects
of mistakes and sloppiness when we are talking about people's jobs.
You seem to assume that because somebody invents a drug test that the
potential failures of the system are of no concern. I thought that
what made America so great was the protection of the innocent.
Long live the Constitution of the United States of America!
