This whole drug testing thing makes me ill. I would pull my kid out of any school that sought to violate his privacy.

Hawaii's (where I live)teacher union just approved a new contract that includes random drug testing for teachers, tied to a raise. I was planning to teach here, but now I will not because it is such a gross violation of privacy. I can't beleive this has gotten this far.

I foresee a new trend in shaved heads and an uptick in body-waxing revenues.

There is a large facebook group countering that UW-frat article and the best point they had was that it misstated the performer of "ridin' dirty"

The Dutch scare is a bit overdone (for now). It's only the city of Maastricht forcing this shit. If you look at a map, you'll see why this is a concern there. Maastricht is on a slim 'peninsula' sticking into Germany & Belgium, not far from France. External pressure forced this. Anyway, the collected 'data' is not going anywhere, the shops keep it for their own ass-covering, to prove they are enforcing the age and daily-purchase limits. This arrangement may even hold there.

But yeah, this is a shitty precedent. Forcing all drugs, even fairly benign ones like cannabis, underground DEFINITELY solves the problem, just look at how well it's done in the USA!
