Usually... the only people that are worried about "constitutional rights" when it comes to drug testing... have something to hide.

Quoted for Truth!

I don't agree that only those who are worried about constitutional rights have something to hide. Many people, myself included, feel that no rights should be surrendered whether you have something to hide or not.
About drug testing, I imagine it would fall under amendment 4:
This is no doubt speaking of residences, but I think drug testing could easily be considered a "search." The issue, as I see it, does not apply to employer testing, however. Government testing necessarily must follow different standards. Of course, I'm talking out my ass here. :jester:
I see what you are getting at, but the people who apply to work have volunteered for a drug test. It is their prerogative to not apply and go to work somewhere that does not require drug screening. It is Red's right as a business owner to screen employees as he sees fit. Illegal drug use is not a constitutional right! The only time I have ever been tested was when I applied to work in a nuclear plant or other high security area.

I've never done illegal drugs... so I can walk into any piss test and not worry. I remember when I went to boot camp... we were goin' through our initial medical screenings, and there were guys askin' other guys to piss in the bottles for them.
Some had just got high the day they got on the plane to go to boot camp. :bang:
I have never understood the "attraction" of illegal drugs.

I think the two statements in bold are related in some way.
Yup...
I once broke 4 ribs and was in quite a bit of pain on coming out of the ER. The doc gave me Oxycondone(sp) for the pain. I did not enjoy that feeling the drugs gave me. If that is how people that get high like to feel... then I apparently am not a good candidate to do drugs.
I basically dealt with the pain... and flushed the oxycondone down the toilet.

I would talk with you offline about this sometime. That is all.
I've been given Oxycodone for pain too. Oxycodone makes Hydrocodone (Vicodin/Loritab which I have also been given) seem like candy. Oxycodone is very powerful. It's nothing like weed...............so I've heard!Yup...

Yeah...........they also help people handle pain!Ive broken my legs a number of times, pain meds make you loopy as all getout.
All things in moderation,if you've ever heard that said before .I had a friend in school that got so used to Vics inhaulers he could scarce breath without it's usage.I had a freind in Highschool that had some Dental work done, they gave him a scrip for Vicodin. He liked the way it made him feel, he found a way to get more, and more...Ive never see nsuch a quick 180 in all my life.

I had an ex that took so many pain medications that it took codine to work on her of which she ingested like candy.I doubt I've taken a small bottle of plain old aspirin in my entire life time for that matter.That is just fact,it makes me no better or worse than anybody else.
Now what about this leg breaking thing.Do you have soft bones or are you as clumsy as a labrador pup ?Now if it's soft bones,my condolences.If it's clumsiness perhaps some lesson in poise and grace would be in order.Dance lessons come to mind.Tip toe through the tulips in a tutu would make an interesting photograph.:hmm3grin2orange:
Not too many AS members wanted to tell old jail stories eh?
Actually its a tie between the Honda GC/GCV motors and any Ryobi Reed Valve style Trimmer EVER made.
I like the small briggs, well designed engines that run and run and run...Id rather have a briggs than a Vertical Tecumseh, thats for darn sure.
Id still go with a Briggs VANGUARD Over a Kohler or Kawasaki though..
