leading the War on Drugs.
* On October 19 1996, Clinton announced that his administration will develop
* a plan to test the urine of driver's license applicants under the age of
* 18, and he gave drug czar Barry McCaffrey 90 days to present the plan to
* him.
*
* "Our message should be simple: no drugs, or no driver's license," Clinton
* proclaimed.
*
* Clinton took this action in the closing weeks of the presidential race
* after Bob Dole attacks his joking comments about marijuana on MTV.
*
* The plan will likely require federal legislation, probably making highway
* funds contingent upon a state's implementation of the plan.
*
* About three million teenagers will seek driver's licenses each year and
* therefore be tested for drugs. At a rate of one-percent false positives,
* 30,000 completely clean kids will fail their drug tests. They will be
* denied driver's licenses. How will their parents react? Many kids are
* likely to be emotionally scarred by the false accusations of drug use,
* and some may even attempt suicide out of their shame.
Thank you very much Free World Leaders for that intelligent discourse on
marijuana. What would we do without you? We love being your lemmings. Keep
beating the Drums so we can march into your ocean of insanity.
"Zero Tolerance" is an extremely dangerous attitude to have regarding crime.
Zero Tolerance by definition means excessive vigilancy.
