Maurice Taylor Suspended by NBA
December 11th, 2006 by Alex
Perennial All-Star Maurice Taylor has been officially warned by the NBA for his 1st positive drug test.
Hmm, that’s not right. Let’s try this again…
Bargain-basement small forward Maurice Taylor has been suspended for 5 games after his 3rd positive drug test. Picked up by the Sacramento Kings after being dumped by the Knicks during pre-season, Big Mo has yet to score a single point.
As a former college standout, Maurice isn’t doing as well as people predicted but his rapid decline has surprised many fans. It’s been reported that he failed for smoking marijuana, so after his 5 game relaxation break, let’s hope he comes back ready to play ball.

Why Not Drug Test Infants?
August 2nd, 2006 by Alex
The problem is that these liberties are slowly eroding. This is another thing I don’t have to point out. Pick up a newspaper or magazine, read the news online, or talk to some current students. Random drug tests, un-announced searches, and other supposedly protective measures are being taken more and more frequently by schools. The latest, and most troubling, doesn’t come from America but its ally overseas - England.
A British school has launched a pilot program where students as young as 11 are subjected to random drug tests - a project that has generated interest in Washington and fed a civil liberties debate on both sides of the Atlantic.
Eleven years old? Seriously? Well, at least this is only hapenning in England…
The White House drug czar says similar tests aren’t far off in the United States. “This (drug testing) is a public health measure,” Walters told The Associated Press.
Guess not. Will a line ever be drawn to regulate how young we can start testing children for drugs? Why not test infants? We can catch them when they’re young, before the pressures of 6th grade really get to the next generation.
What public and school officials don’t realize, is that bringing up this drug testing issue earlier and earlier for students puts the idea of drugs in their mind. They will become curious and want to see what all the big fucking deal is about. What are these drugs? Are they really as bad as people say they are? Maybe I’ll try for myself and find out…
As an adult, you should be able to make your own decisions about what you do and do not put in your body. As a child, you should be educated and protected by competent parents. It should be as simple as that. Anything beyond this scope, besides the obvious signs of intoxication while at school, are overstepping the boundaries of a government to police its own population.
I think it’s time to start manufacturing tFS pre-natal drug test kits…
