This is just too ironic

TSK TSK!

Personally I think all legislators (congress and senate) should be drug tested.

Not to be confused with STX's own Steve Katz, who, I'm pretty sure, does not share his namesake's views.

so we can extend and expand the nanny state?

so we can dump more money into a utterly failed prison system? (we can't even keep drugs out of PRISON... but lets keep this "drug war" going right?)

How about we re-think the whole situation, use a little common sense and quit putting people into the prison system for victemless crimes.

It would probably stop old men from being hypocrites also (see above article) .

I mean I get that it's fun to be number 1, I think the incarceration rate ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_incarceration_rate Hey lookie there, the USVI is #4 in the WORLD....) & military spending are about the last two things the US is #1 in anymore.

Lets put some serious thought into topics like this; not just agree with what seems like the mass-opinion or what the TV tells us to think.

I think we need change (and not the kind we were told about back in 2008, REAL change) and I have hope that we will do better in the future.

Why shouldn't our legislature have to follow the rules like some guy at Taco Bell?

Well Taco bell is a private company, if they want to drug test their employee's I say more power to 'em. (though for some reason I doubt this is the case, based on my last tacobell experience... haha)

besides, I don't think we could go through a re-election of 80% of the congress / senate staff right now; I've heard politics described once as "Hollywood for ugly people" and from what I've read (articles like the one posted here) I think that's an accurate analogy.

If you are serious about change, I think replacing 80% of the congress/senate would be a bloody good start! 😎

haha, if I thought an honest person could make it to that level I'd completely agree... right now I just think the system is too corrupted & weighed down with lobbiests and speical intrest groups.

The change I would make would be campaign spending CAPS.

20,000 for President 10,000 for SENATE and 5,000 for Congress... no donations allowed, no over spending that amount.

and of course term limits, no longer than 2 terms in any position and if you have previously worked for certain related orginizations you would be barred from election as well as having restrictions on who you can work for after election.

for example, no more former bank CEO's running the SEC (bank over seers) and no more former head SEC directors workings as CEO's for JP morgans etc...
