On the contrary, Calvinism is far from a dead religion, and legislating morality has nothing to do with Calvinism. In fact, my church, the Reformed Church in America, has a policy against legislating morality in many places, such as the abortion question, and is definitely Calvinist. I agree, you can't legislate morality, and the legislature has no business doing so. And employers have no right testing a person's anything for presence of drugs or alcohol. It IS an invasion of privacy, and these tests can also be very wrong. -- Jim Scardelis, SA {hjuxa,ihnp4}!wcom!frodo #include
