And while your at it, why not have then prove that we should return to the
Dark Ages, and believe what ever our leaders tell us...

Research has also proven that lack of sleep cause hallucinations, and poor
reflexs. So why not make all your employees live in dorms with 10pm bedtimes.
Also a long commute makes employees more likely to  be ill and cost you MONETY,
so don't hire anyone who live more then 15 minutes away.

Mr Mading, it may surprize you to learn but your 'future employees' are humans,
and not cattle to be prodded, tested,
 branded, and herded.
	They deserve to be assumed innocent till proven guilty, and free from
invasions of privacy.
	Those rights out weight a companys desires for more productive 
employees. Employees are not slaves they have a right to a private life. If
you can detect their drug use by there quality of work, or actions, then
fire them (or have them arrested), but
you have no right to intrude in anyones private life. Part of the 'cost' of
living in a 'free' country is that
things are not as "safe" as life in a
police state.

	Why are hallugenic drugs so bad? I would imagine that the ratio of
use to injury for LSD (excluding bad
batchs) is proably less then that for drinking.
	Most government are under pressure from various religious group to
make 'sinful' (ie:enjoyable, or mind altering drugs illegal).

	I for one, would rather be more free, then more safe...
