And this time I think they will suffer a backlash. These are three of the imbeciles who are radical anti-steroid yahoos, trying to pass the law to make steroid laws tougher (!) and ban prohormones - bill HRxx (forgot the actual number assigned by Congress). This time they have gone too far warning baseball to get tough on steroids "or else". When I first heard about this on the radio today, the talk show guys were slamming the attempted intervention of these govt Representitaves-and so were all the people calling up. First off, let baseball regulate itself and how dare some fat old govt official make threats to impose their adgenda! Both the Players Union, and possibly the Baseball officials, will object to this. But as you see Selig is cowering to it, saying baseball supports the 'prohormone' law. Who the fuck is baseball (or any other sports body) to decide what is or isnt general law...although thats exactly what has made these disgraceful laws from the start.
Hopefully this will backfire in our favor. Its ulmost unbelievable what a hysteria this steroid issue has become, all the while no true, real scientific facts are discussed.
This country is a sad, sad mess-at least as far as this issue goes (just for starters).

What are you talking about, MikeS? Everyone knows that steroids are addictive and will kill you in a matter of time



It's almost comical the way this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. I just hate the additional negative publicity.

I never post but!

This is an election year. What is happening is that our elected officials are deciding what the major issues will be in this year's election.

Do not let them decide. It must be us -- the American citizen.

Let me see:

Civil Unions
Steriods
Drugs

Who really cares about this? So gays unite! People use steriods! People use drugs! Let them. It is there right. Who really cares. It does not affect me personally.

Here are some issues that will affect most Americans and me.

Health Care
Stock Market
Retirement
The deficit
Education

These issues are too difficult. Do not let them focus on what is not important.

All I can say is Vote! Vote! Vote!

Sorry I had to vent.

one more thing -- We are such a corrupt nation. I have an idea. Lets bomb someone -- that will really entertain America and take our minds off of the improtant issues.

Sorry again, this post really got me going. I am going back into my hole now.

see ya,

IT IS NOT OUR RIGHT (IT really is) in this country, that is why is is illegal, as in we cannot have the right to use them. Get caught with juice/drugs, then you LOSE whatever rights you had to begin with. We are not free. Not by a long shot.

If they're so concerned about integrity and honesty they need to look in the mirror. Why don't they lead by example and disclose how they vote in favor of special interests groups that contribute to their campaigns..
Can anyone think of a group that cheats and lies more than politicians???
