A friend of mine recommended James Brown for cleaning music. Sounds like a good idea to me. I still need to obtain some JB. Anyone have a suggestion for a good 'best of' that contains all appropriate favorites? I'm sure there are a ton of collections, all different.

I'm actually thinking about just putting in Virtua Fighter 2 and getting to the part where you fight Sarah so I can pause it and turn the volume up really loud. lol

So you would take into account/base your decision on what they do or don't do in their personal time when you hire them/fire them, even if there's no evidence that those activities are impacting their performance?
I've worked in many environments staffed with daily tokers... bars, restaurants, and those high as a kite were usually as capable as those not, but the one who abstained or casual seemed to have goals of moving on from working in service, and the dopers are still frying chicken and waiting tables.

If someone wants to do illegal drugs, more power to them...but, that said, you have to accept the consequences of that choice just like with every other choice you make in your life.

I also do not see "Hey don't do drugs or you're fired" as being any more 'demeaning' than "Hey be on time or you're fired" or "Hey, get off your cell phone or you're fired".
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
