Nope, you were right the first time around, Jeff - test the shit outta all public servants. I want 1000 question tests about their ethics and morals while they're hooked to a polygraph, I want blood, urine, and stool samples to look for illegal substances, std's, or health problems, and it should be done once a month. Just to be sure that they're really commited to serving us well.

Not all public servants. Just Congressmen and Senators.

Ok, Syd, fair enough!

Nope, Lowdog was wrong the first time. I want drug and morals testing for all our civil servants, twice a day, every day, when they come in from their lunch breaks (with perhaps a few exceptions for fire, military, etc.).

The less time available for troubling the public, the better we all are. And who knows, with their own bodies so thoroughly investigated, they might rethink the last decade's worth of invasive bureaucracy.

I can dream.

So all major league sports might begin having there players tested by the government.

After thinking about how well the the government does everything else I think that this will cause steriod use to go up.
