What if the government required every citizen to have a drug test, and lose their job?

January 30, 2013

Will this be the future of socialised medicine?

"But the Scotland Yard chief said employers who discovered a staff member abusing drugs would not have to turn “informant” and tell the police. While his “refreshing” comments, reported by the Daily Mail, were welcomed by campaigners, they are likely to raise civil liberties concerns. In the United States, random drug-testing is already accepted in sectors such as education, health, retail, financial and manufacturing. Companies say the tests not only improve safety but also help identify theft risk and improve productivity."--By Andrew Hough, 30 Jan 2013

    Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. Highlight: Would set hours of operation of each Athens-Clarke County "building campus" -- e.g. City Hall, the courthouse and Dougherty Street government building -- at 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Park hours would either be set by the Athens-Clarke County manager or the Mayor and Commission. The ordinance has been derided by members of Occupy Athens and others as seeking to enforce a curfew on public property, thus damaging their First Amendment right to peacably assemble for long-term protests. read more
