Do librarians need to be tested for drugs?

[SFG75]

There is a plan in Florida to test librarian and librarian-volunteers. We have a Puritan streak in our country that is most annoying at times.

Bill Maher article.

Should librarians be tested for drugs?

Is there an epidemic of drug taking librarians?

The last time a librarian did something really stupid and reckless on drugs was when Laura married George.

I couldn't agree more.

Good drugs?

When I was in nursing school, I was almost the only one in my class who wasn't taking antidepressants/anxiolytics or prescription meds for modern stresses. It was unbelievable. A few years ago Maureen Dowd wrote one of her best columns ever about Valley of the Dolls type behavior and how her general practitioner suggested antidepressants as Maureen was going through a break up. Now, I'm guessing librarians are possibly as hepped up on high dollar rxs as the rest of the general population seems to be, so I would hope they wouldn't need street drugs. Why should they be the focus of drug testing? Sloppy driveby microficheing (sp??)? (Do they even still do that?) Vicious behavior towards children? Tipsy reshelving? Or might it be because they tend to be literate, opinionated, liberal women who can back up their ideas? I think nurses should be tested big time, but librarians...can't see the sense in it.

Personally like to self medicate with Scotch and great sex but right now there's no one in a hundred miles I'd, um, medicate with so am limited to liquids.
