Half-Life and Times

Litmus tests

I'm thinking that as we're getting into a younger group of candidates for statewide and national offices (like guys my age), we ought to reinstate the "Have you ever taken illegal drugs?" litmus test. Any candidate that is between 40 and 50 and answers "no" is either lying like a big old dawg or lacks the requisite life experience that I expect to see in a major officeholder. Anybody who was in college from around '72 to '84 and claims that they never smoked of the weed or partook of the hash or snorted of the cocaine or ate of the magic mushrooms or dropped of the acid was too damn sheltered to be representative of ME, anyway!
