(Notice I avoided the "W" word.) That was definitely one of the best editorials I have ever seen in The Californian since I moved here in 1982. It was on the mark, backed with fact. If the working public has to test for their paycheck, your dang well right the folks receiving aid should, too. As you stated, it's the few causing the problems for the many. If the ACLU wants to supply drug money, let them do it out of their pockets not the public. Jay McCarthy, Bakersfield - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
