Steroids

When did steroids become the most important issue in the world today. Did steroids somehow contribute to the rise in oil prices and the fall of the economy. Why is it news that Terry Bradshaw took roids 30 yrs ago, when they were legal and everyone else in the NFL was. Why is it news that some race horses are given steroids, another legal practice. Is there legitimate concern that the ponys of today and the future will begin experimenting with illegal substances to gain a competitive advantage? Is there an outcry in the horse community that the sport needs to be cleaned up? You know what steroids really do? They make sports more exciting. I know for the most part this issue has settled some but why do i need to read 15 different stories about Roger Clemens appearing before Congress to answer questions pertaining to something he may or may not have put into his body close to a decade ago. Are Roger Clemens career strike out numbers and wins a matter of national security? Did he buy these roids in question directly from Al-Qaeda. Did he fly to Afghanastan and personally purchase them from Osama Bin Laden? It just never ends. How stupid are we as a country. Which one of these two examples would have a tangible negative effect no the quality of life of your average American, spending 75$ 2 or 3x a week to fill their tank or living with the knowledge that Barry Bonds career home run and season records are bullshit? Were being treated like a bunch of morons, were supposed to ignore real social issues and all rally behind the steroid cause. It really makes me sick. I want a Congressional investigation to be done on how much money and time has been wasted on investigating steroids in sports and to find better use for those resources. I would never vote for anyone who ever had anything to do with any of that bullshit. Basically what i hear is "yeah i know gas is 5$ a gallon but at least no one on the Brewers is on the sauce so vote for me."
