Reply #58: Libertarians have a narrower definition of "force".

[ieoeja]

By their definition you are not being "forced" to take the test because nobody is forcing you to work for that company. They believe that good employees can always get a better job. Accordingly, a company with an invasive drug testing policy will lose their good employees to a rival company with no such policy. This transfer of competence to their rival will cause the first company to ultimately fail.

Libertarians believe that the government is the only power that can "force" you to do something against your will. However, as long as a country is willing to let you leave (as most are), then their logic regarding your right to change jobs should apply equally to your right to change countries.

Libertarianism is a greal idea. Unfortunately, reality gets in the way. Which may explain why they also believe in legalizing all forms of controlled substances.
