The U.S. Supreme Court has recently ruled that it is OK to do random drug testing of high school students who engage in any competitive or extracurricular activities. It occurs to me that we ought to apply this principle to our friends in Washington. I propose we implement drug testing for all senators and representatives. We know how competitive politicians can be, and we have heard more than we care to know about their extracurricular activities. Manuel Rosenbaum Oak Park - --- MAP posted-by: Doc-Hawk
