Oh, wait a minute. Gotta read the fine print. Oh, forget it! It says we've first gotta ask 'em if they do drugs. We're only going to test those who have admitted drug use. Makes a whole lotta sense to go ahead with the testing, doesn't it? Typical American politics. Nobody ever thought to actually do drug testing on everyone collecting a welfare check? Lawmakers don't wanna go there. Kelly Kregle, Mesa - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
