I dont see that I've given anything up by pissing in a cup.  It lets
me know that I've gone through the same screening process as my coworkers,
and that I"m not going to be managing systems alongside some deranged
crackhead.  

Working for my company is a priviledge, not a right, and in order to 
get that priviledge, I piss in a cup.  Tiny tradeoff.  I'd rather pee in
a cup and get the job I have now, than not pee in a cup and work at
McDonalds.

(like I said, I dont mind what people do in their own home, but 
 wouldnt want to have to work with someone whose head was fried,
 either..)
