Heraclid,

I can see the pain of losing someone close in your reply & I'm truly sorry for your loss, however, it wasn't me who caused your loss or anyone elses.
I have repaid my debt to society & am a better man for it...For this I am fortunate & thankful.
It's obvious you haven't made any mistakes that bear the burden of legal consequence, for that I commend you.
Had you read this thread more closely, you would realize I already have a job that I enjoy going to, working with an employer who I consider a friend. I work with he & his sons, more than for them.
While drug testing is something I disagree with in principle & practice, it wasn't the entire issue.
Working for a company that has one set of standards for some who are producing top shelf work in a timely manner, & another set for those who are out golfing with the owner...well, lets just say it always made me feel all creepy inside & I don't care to fit in to that reality.
My decision was based not solely on policies I find demoralizing in general, but also on being true to myself & to an employer I also consider a friend
In closing, I would like to wish you well & say no hard feelings, I appreciate your side of the argument.
Also, kudos on a very stern lecture & I'm quite sure your wife could deliver one that's even better...but I don't think I could take another.
To the rest of you...sorry for the "manifesto".
