Just say No to Drugs!

Why does the US government decide now to take a look into the use of steroids in baseball? It seems to me that there are a lot of other things that the government should be worried about then the use of steroids to a hit few more balls over the wall in baseball.

Lets face it, people have known for years that there was/are steroids in baseball. Not just baseball but other sports also. Granted with the new rules put out by baseball to limit the use of illicit drug use of steroids, there will be drastic reduction in the amount of players currently using them. It seems that in the age of sports where there aren't millionaires but multimillionaires, you would think that they would have the common sense to stay away from the stuff.

If the government does decide to go after the players that have used or are still using, what will that mean for other sports such as football, wrestling and the Olympics? The NFL has a greater problem with drugs like marijuana, cocaine, crack. So why didn't the government hold an inquiry when Ricky Williams tested positive for marijuana? I'm thinking its because the NFL pay their lobbyists a lot more.

Now what I really don't understand is why it is so bad to use a human growth hormone in baseball? I mean the food industry pumps up to 75% of our foods with hormones. If its not to chicken to make them produce more eggs and to produce more meat. Its for the cows milk, or to make their meat more lean. If the government allows farmers and producers of our food to continue to add chemicals, hormones and god only knows what else to the foods we eat it will be a miracle that we will rot when we die.

If its not the food that we eat; its the drugs that the doctors put us on when we are sick. Now I don't see a doctor unless I am on my death bed. Americans in general will go for just about anything, and they will pay the copay and get their prescriptions. I came from a country that has free health care, we didn't go to the doctor until Buckley's Cough Syrup couldn't help us. If you think NyQuil is bad: the slogan for Buckley's is "It tastes awful and it works!" when it should be "See ya next year" I took it in '98 and woke up in '99. It should come with a warning "May Cause Coma's"

Its an endless cycle of eating shitty food, getting sick, go to the doctor, get shitty drugs and then eat shitty food again. The government won't do anything about it because it will benefit from the money made by the health insurance companies, drug companies and food producers. So while they play with the baseball players who have used something that makes them more competitive in a league of millionaires, and only harms themselves. Compared to the billionaires that have been harming Americans for years and years, I think the baseball players are small beans.
