A woman here in Cincinnati was cuffed and spent 3 hours in jail for feeding
parking meters.  She was doing the Good Samaritan bit on her way back to her
car, and fed someone else's meter.  I guess the cop that was just hanging
around waiting to write the ticket got pissed, and told her it was against
the law.  She mouthed off and did it again, so now she gets to tell it to the
judge.
       Oh yeah - she was strip-searched, too.
       Anyway, maybe the cost of the drug testing isn't going to mean much.
Liberals are not noted for their economic acumen.  AND, if they jack up the
initial cost of the DL to cover the whizz quiz, that's gonna piss off a whole
bunch of people (pun intended ;-) ).  I can see a whole new market for fake
driver's licences.  A serious one, that taps into the proper databases.
Kinda like they did in the USSR, only with computers this time.
       Probably a few folks here, myself included, would like to be educated

Write your reply.

assistant: Nullification was an attempt to block a federal law from taking effect
within a state.  I believe the conflict that engendered this strategy was
over slavery, although its possible that a federally levied tariff may also
have provoked this response.  James M. Burns's, The American Experience
(vols. 1 & 2, passim), gives details.
     Its inconceivable to me that a state would stand up for its citizens
rights to the extent that they would sacrifice tens of millions in federal
highway funds.  This is especially the case when it comes to drug testing,
since the very anti-liberal sentiment, expressed in "only those with
something to hide would object to being tested," is very widespread. With
U.S. congresspersons offering to be tested, and to test their staffs, it
seems as if there is a mania for pissing in a jar abroad in the land.  (Of
course, that same anti-liberal view can easily be applied to the Fourth
Amendment, generally, and since in his primary campaign Bob Dole
hammered the Fourth, without much public outrage, I wouldn't bet the farm in
a political showdown.  Let's hope the liberals can head off this horrifying
invasion of privacy/erosion of fundamental liberty!

Write your reply.

assistant: If you are inclined to waste your vote next Tuesday by giving it
to Clinton or Dole -- while both of them advocate more
Prohibition II and restriction of civil rights and liberties,
consider the following story:
A young girl was trudging along a mountain path, trying to reach
her grandmother's house.  It was bitter cold, and the wind cut like
a knife.  When she was within sight of her destination, she heard a
rustle at her feet.
Looking down, she saw a snake.  Before she could move, the snake
spoke to her.  He said, "I am about to die.  It is too cold for me
up here, and I am freezing.  There is no food in these mountains,
and I am starving.  Please  put me under your coat and take me
with you."
"No," replied the girl.  "I know your kind.  You are a rattlesnake.
If I pick you up, you will bite me, and your bite is poisonous."
"No, no," said the snake.  "If you help me, you will be my best
friend.  I will treat you differently."
The little girl sat down on a rock for a moment to rest and think
things over.  She looked at the beautiful markings on the snake
and had to admit that it was the most beautiful snake she had ever
seen.
Suddenly, she said, "I believe you.  I will save you.  All living
things deserve to be treated with kindness."
The little girl reached over, put the snake gently under her coat
and proceeded toward her grandmother's house.
Within a moment, she felt a sharp pain in her side.  The snake had
bitten her.
"How could you do this to me?" she cried.  "You promised that you
would not bite me, and I trusted you!"
"You knew what I was when you picked me up," hissed the snake as
he slithered away.

assistant: I thought you all would like me share this article that came out of the
November 4, 1996 issue of BusinessWeek. It's on page 199 for those of
you who would like to find it.
A BRAIN SHIELD FROM--WELL, MARIJUANA
        The first drug to curtail the spread of brain damage resulting
from strokes and head or spinal cord injuries has entered clinical tests
at six hospitals in Israel. Its key ingredient is dexanabinol, a
synthetic molecule based on the active agent in marijuana. Dexanabinol
was discovered six years ago by Raphael Mechoullam, a researcher at
Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and developed by the Rehovot (Israel)
research arm of Pharmos Corp. in Alachua, Fla.
        Dexanabinol has two novel properties: It can cross the so-called
blood-brain barrier that prevents foreign molecules from entering the
brain. And once in, the drug appears to halt the brain-cell
deterioration that follows a blow to the head or a stroke. In four years
of animal testing, the drug produced "outstanding" results, says Michael
Schickler, vice-president of Pharmos' Israel operations. Pharmos expects
clinical tests to be completed by the end of 1997. If it works,
dexanabinol could hit the market as soon as 2000.
