####  Unwillingness to prove your lack of knowledge by a simple and safe
test is surely a sign of a guilty conscience.

 Will doping me up to a hyper-suggestible state
necessarily bring us any nearer the truth or will it make it
easier to extract exactly what the questioner wants to hear?  
This type of interrogation is not admissable in court among
other reasons because it is not terribly reliable.

  Leaving
aside for a minute that it is a fundamental act of force against
a human being in their most sacrosanct aspect of their very
mind.

And who determines what is "reasonable time" or insures that the
information has actually been made public without doctoring?
### a) duly elected, preferably narcoanalysis-tested representatives of the
people.
b) your attorney with a camera and microphone present at the inquiry.

I don't take urine tests either.
### Any reasonable pharmacist should deny you employment if you refuse to be
tested.

Then what is this "life" or its value that is left if it can be
destroyed and pryed open at any suspicion by any authority? 
What is there left to protect if this is legitimate?  Can you
protect by destroying and denying the value of that which you
claim to protect?
I am baffled and  cannot provide any useful and smart answers. Is the value
of life destroyed by a Peeping Tom?
