	A recent ABC interview showed a young, clean cut, all-american
	manager saying "Yes, I believe in manditory drug testing in
	the workplace", and a punk with a mohawk saying "... as long
	as it doesn't affect your work performance."

	Sorry folks, but I know more yuppie types that would fail
	tests for drugs (including alcohol), than punks.  I have the
	feeling that we are indeed being manipulated by major
	propoganda ploy.
