Damn liberals never miss a chance to bad mouth the real news network, FOX NEWS. Keep up the good work! I think what is happening is that we are so accustomed to electing do nothing politicians, aka brandon shelvin, william theriot, jared bellard, et al,oh i almost forgot, chris williams, that we're shellshocked when an elected official really acts in a positive way for the public good. If there is disagreement , why not do a pilot program to determine the need for such a law. Personnally , I thinkl its a great idea, and those who disagree are living in la la land. - Concerned person Thu, 12 May 2011 12:39:00 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-17620 this bill is fantastic! about time. - ach amh agh Thu, 12 May 2011 11:30:43 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16286 TXWHODAT, the slimy little bugger has crawled into his shell, he is of one mind and thinks the strip is LaLa land, or he's corexit on the hoof and finally settled to the bottom, he's a spoofer who orates print type. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Tue, 05 Apr 2011 22:29:09 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16263 Maecenas the Moronic, invasion of the body? One of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I agree with N Shotgun. If you knew anyone with a job, you could then someone in their family how they feel about drug testing at the jobsite. How 'bout drug testing for ship captains, plane pilots, truck drivers, pipeline workers, highway workers, rail road engineers, school bus drivers? Still invasive of their body? Still doubt you could pass a UDS. - better yet, there probably was a time when you couldn't pass which explains your nutty thought process. - txwhodat Tue, 05 Apr 2011 13:41:48 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16251 Oh Maecenas, I have another bet for you, I bet a G note to a Meche's Donut, that you are a digressionary redneck, still to pass your bar exam. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Tue, 05 Apr 2011 01:25:16 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16250 " The drug-police state has only increased drug useage, not decreased it ! What a crock of shit, the truth is, the American tokers, have not the balls to do anything else but escape the realities of life by being stoned. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Tue, 05 Apr 2011 01:13:13 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16246 Maecenas, Stupid is as stupid says, and you pilgrim are about as stupid as the druggie, that filled out a pre-employment form and tested positive for marijuana and cocaine. I supervise over 100 drug free employees at my work place and they are the most productive and highest wage earners in the industry, and this is not because they are drug free, but this is because they truly understand and appreciate that their fellow employee's care enough about their person and their fellow employee's persons to "ALLOW THEIR EMPLOYER TO: Drug screen their person prior to gaining employment and subject their persons to random drug screens as their number is selected, you see goofentaten, one slip up could lead to another BP fiasco, and loss of lives. I'm sure you did not lose a fanily member in the BP castrophe of eleven dead, else you would not be center stage acting out " The Great Proponent, of mind addling drug use" by pretending to own a literate professorship of mans laws, Oh by the way, MAECENAS, you are living proof that, " the privilege of absurdity, to which no living creature is subject but man only " is an iron-clad fact. and " the absurd has meaning only in so far as it is not agreed to ", In other simpler terms, " It takes two fools to have an argument, and you fool, are all alone." Existentialist Homme, Ciao Oh, I just remembered, sorry darn, its an age thing, " THE YOUNG ASPIRE TO TEACH THE AGED, WHAT THE AGED HAVE NOW FORGOTTEN "... EXISTENTIALIST HOMME, In other words " Chump, I have been all around the world, as my employment required me to do so, and I have found that the American youth, mentally mature slower than European and Asian youth, and that most American youth have a tendency to pretend the role of know it all, when truly they know " Jackshit. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Tue, 05 Apr 2011 00:37:36 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16236 TXWHODAT: I would absolutely pass! I do not wish anything to interfere with my mental processes. "Consent" or "Court Order" ? Both are modes of coercion, one implicit ["consent"], the other explicit ["court order"]. How weak is your mind? 'Invasion of one's body' is a larger conception than 'privacy.' These concepts are not equivalent. "Drug testing" should be more properly compared to "sexual rape." It is the same degree of barbarism! Don't forget the Roman principle in law: Summum ius, summa iniuria [Cicero, De Officis, I. 10. 33]. It means that too rigorous enforcement of laws can in certain circumstances obstruct and annul the objective for which the laws exist. The drug-police state has only increased drug usage, not decreased it! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Mon, 04 Apr 2011 13:53:04 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16229 Invasion of one's body? do you mean privacy? I've never drug tested anyone without their consent or a court order. Could you pass? - txwhodat Mon, 04 Apr 2011 08:25:11 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16216 SBD, Would a pilot who possesses a complex skill-set be stupid enough to do his job in a state of mental impairment? It is this sort of sloppy thinking [proposing an almost infinite array of foolish possibilities that are not grounded in practical reality] that gives rise to barbarism. Your argument can be dismissed on the logic of alcohol impairment. How many pilots have been let go due to alcohol impairment? Alcohol, of course, is legal; however, it violates the professional code of ethics for [air/land or water] pilots to be technically drunk when they fly a plane. As I asserted, Drug Testing is an invasion of one's body! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:06:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16214 by Gaius Cilnius Maecenas "No one should be drug tested; it is an invasion of one's inner body." ----------------------------- No one? Really? To tell the truth, I like the idea that the FAA requires testing of pilots. Have you been on a flight with a pilot after he smoke a few joints? It would be quite a trip. - SBD Sun, 03 Apr 2011 11:47:17 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16213 written by John F "Are we going to drug test social security recipients, too?" ----------------------- In theory, recipients have paid into the system for their benefits, so there is a difference. - James Melancon Sun, 03 Apr 2011 11:41:56 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16209 Northsidian Shotgun, Wrong on all three accounts! As Walter asserted succinctly and pertinently, "...the tacit belief that the poor possess less moral character than the rest of us..." has been validated by your foolish words. You would make an excellent poster-child (even though you are an old, ignorant, hateful man) for the 'knuckle-walkers' who have not yet quite acquired the up-right posture of a mature human---socially, emotionally & morally well-developed! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Sun, 03 Apr 2011 10:19:14 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16205 Gaius, I'd wager a hundred to a Meche's Donut that You are a career welfare recipient, your babymama has (7), seven babies and you're a nut that did'nt fall far from the tree. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Sun, 03 Apr 2011 00:26:53 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16198 Walter has written a lucid defense of his appraisal of the lunacy of drug testing. No one should be drug tested; it is an invasion of one's inner body. The nasty responses by so many of the above blog postings confirm how savage, ignorant and malicious the great majority of our people are here in Lafayette. Think how de-humanizing it is to pee in a container, and turn your efflux over to a minion, who in turn, using chain-of-custody nonsensical procedures, supposedly have a qualified laboratory test it! More than a few lacunae here. This present day stupidity of practicing this peculiar event (drug testing) does feed the police state mentality and enrich the legal/therapist community. Talk about a foolish use of cash to recycle within a community [every dollar moves seven times within a community before it is lost to that community]! LaBruzzo & Hardy should be horse-whipped and run out of the congressional chambers of Louisiana for inciting violence [fear, anger & pain] in our most vulnerable citizenry! They smell of the street! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Sat, 02 Apr 2011 17:28:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16150 Pierce: Good attempt to salvage! However, it's a tough crowd! Some of us got all that same sociology teaching and simply never bought into it. We had to write those same answers down on exams; had them memorized by heart! You might be very surprised to know how many of Mr. Hardy's mixed race and mixed income level district would agree... Nothing to do with "designed to play to the prejudices and fears of white people." - realitychecks Fri, 01 Apr 2011 12:36:55 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16091 John F. you must have a GED in stupidity. Social Security is money returned to a *payer who de-pos-ited a portion of his earnings for a set number of years, wages de-pos-ited, can you dig it ? Social Security ! Herein: known as a retirement account, ( Without Interest, I must add ) our government the *payee continually raises a red flag which scares the hell out of the social security payer, but not to worry, these couillions could not exst without every dollar they squeeze from the, " Lets not call, ourselves Social Security Receipients, " Receipients ": "are the the lazy weed toking welfare peeps like the babymamas who drop the maximum number of toddlers to qualify for the maximum number of dollars of government dole, which is to say the government rewards the babymamas for producing another generation of welfare program " RECEIPIENTS, to gain more votes.... That Jack F. is one un-dis-putant fact. But,for the grace of God there toke I. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Thu, 31 Mar 2011 00:34:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16090 Before, I "AYE, our esteemed birdseed Mayor subjecting his person to a drug screen, considering the cost of drug tests. I want a medical opinion on the questionable, debatable, opinion, "Is ah slow learnt-couillion pill ah narcotic ? What, hows that again ? "Not, if its prescribed ? Oh. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Thu, 31 Mar 2011 00:05:56 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16079 I don't know where the author got their information on Louisiana Employers, but any company working Offshore is required to test every employee at time of hire, random testing during employment, and testing at the time of any accident to the employee or involving the employee. In addition, anyone holding a U.S. Government Document in Marine Transportation (Crew and Supply boat personnel,Semi-Sub Rig Crew etc). Virtually all Maritime Insurers require this as a minimum both Offshore and at the Docks (Stevedore,Oil Docks, etc)These rules include all drugs including alcohol. Why should there be "Zero Tolerance" for the worker and a free ride for the Slacker??? - ETEE Wed, 30 Mar 2011 21:42:00 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8027-labruzzos-bad-bill#comment-16077 If you test one, then test them all including Tom Benson with the Saints welfare. Get the point! I would rather spend state funds on roads and bridges then drug test for anyone. - Gatorlawman Wed, 30 Mar 2011 20:32:02 +0100
