Today I drove 120 miles (round trip) so that I could pee in a cup. I am not a big fan of this aspect of American Life. We have a principle in this country that people are innocent until proven guilty. Drug use is illegal. What the drug test says, in effect, is that you are guilty of using illicit drugs and we demand you prove your innocence. While I will concede that the innocent until proven guilty ideal is derived from Constitutional procedures, thus limited its official reach to government interaction with the people; the principle is universal in our culture. Or is it?
