While it's not going to change policy, it's nice to see reason and common sense beating the prohibitionists on their home turf. So, take a stroll over there and throw a pie.
If the prohibs keep failing at their attempt to invade students' urinary tracts, maybe they'll have to start posting personal ads...

I understand that there are psych problems called 'fetishes' where people develop unhealthy obsessions about things...like bodily fluids.
I've always had this mental image of people like Calvina, Johnny P(ee, how appropriate) and other piss-testing promoting DrugWarriors as well-dressed versions of Jethro Tull's Aqualung. To paraphrase the song, "...eying little kids with bad intent." Intent, that is, on acquiring their urine. This obsession looks like nothing else but a sickness, a deep and festering sickness...
