What are we saying?

I saw a small article in the local paper.

Drug Testing

Drug testing for students in an extracurricular school activity will be at 9 a.m.-noon and 4-7 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 4-5 at the high school.

We see it every year, we're use to it, we don't think about it.

So what are we saying, every year, to students who don't pass the drug test?

"We know that you would like to find some interests other than drugs, but since your urine showed traces of past drug use, you will not be allowed to do so."

"Tommy, we know that you'd like to make some new friends, get involved in sports and maybe make something of your life but your urine shows signs of past drug use, so like, no way dude!"

Speaking of drug testing.
Isn't it great the way kids look up to professional athletes?
If it weren't for drug testing, kids could just look up to them and that would be it, a good thing.
But thanks to drug testing, kids look up to professional athletes then find out that they are taking drugs, then the kids want to take those drugs.

I must be crazy to expect sanity from an insane world.

  2. Just test everybody every day...maybe twice a day. Then set up an average. I think the whole country is high on something most of the time.
