They are not wasting money, and time, on a needless agenda. There agenda is quite simple, keeping the American Populace ignorant to things that matter, and selling off the US into a North American Union, and soon to be World Government. That is the agenda, and they are doing a damn fine job at it...It`s up to the people to stop them at acomplishing their plans, however I do not beleive the majority even care, or will care, until perhaps they find themselves in the FEMA Camps, but then it will be too late...

^Yup, that`s right Eck, nothing to see here, move along.

^^ agreed Velocity73R. The only threat posed by baseball is some hypothetical loss of confidence in the minds of some small part of the public or something. Fuck, people pay to see steroid pumped macho super athletes, that`s the sports business as ususal. So it follows that the whole issue of congress wasting time on this is also business as usual: stall and distract while the real shit goes down. Look busy while looking away.

I agree that the endgame here is going to include FEMA camps, political detention of MANY Americans who dissented. The only thing I can think of to really do something about it is GENERAL STRIKE. Don`t work for these fuckers any more, until they do what WE say. Like quit the fucking WARS, and stop selling us out to China. Besides, it`s not government that`s in control here, it`s the corporations. The only way to make them listen AT ALL is to make them lose money.

i agree with some of what you said exploder (except the fema camps paranoid bullshit) but stop whining on an internet forum, especially you non-Americans, go do something if you are a US citizen. If not, worry about all of the problems your own country has. i`m sure it has alot.

The only thing I disagree with this is at :35 he states steroids are not illegal. They are. If they were legal, I would be able to sell them in my vitamin store.

Congress got innvolved, so they say, because they wanted o inform and educate the children about the dangers of steroids. My question is, what have they been doing to educate the children? Have they established school programs like they said they would? Have they teamed with the NFL and MLB and had lectures in schools with athletes telling kids about the dangers of steroids? The answer to both is NO. It`s all just more political grandstanding to act like they are doing something.

By the way, we all need to disassociate steroids from HGH. They are 2 totally different things and if the FDA had a brain, which they don`t, HGH would be legal. It is very beneficial to the body and does not have the side effects like steroids. People put more damaging shit in their bodies by getting a prescription from your doctor, which is legalized by the FDA, than people doing HGH or steroids.

Where is the committee meetings on that. Oh, I`m sorry, there are none. The FDA is a government entity and they would be saying they are wrong and they get millions from the drug companies. FUCKERS!

Does this relate to how my city has a 200k hummer....28" rims, ps3, xbox30, hd player, plasma screen, subs, custom paint, screens in all the headrests. There is no sponser company all it says is DARE and my police station. From my understanding they take it to schools to keep kids off drugs but i`m not understanding why taking things drug dealers once owned and showing it off to kids keeps them off drugs. Ahhhhh yes the war of drugs and the many fruits it provides for our police.

MacDaddy:
Let me first say that I know nothing about law in regards to steroid use so I`m just another random idiot speaking out of his ass. Having said that, I think in the very least steroids are legal with a prescription. It is a common ingredient in lots of over the counter muscle ache ointments from what I remember. Also as far as I know, there is no explicit law forbidding it`s use. It is not considered a control substance or narcotics, the worst I believe is a misdemeanor for possession of a prescription drugs without a prescription, it`s like the people that addicted to painkillers.

If steroid injection is illegal, you would believe that you would hear news of athletes being prosecuted for use, which you don`t. I don`t know if this logic is valid or not.

Another reason congress has an interest for the hearings is that MLB has an congress approved exemption from anti-monopoly laws, meaning it is an legally sanctioned monopoly. They have an interest in determining whether or not to lift that exemption by how the MLB, a corporation/business, behaves. I`m not saying I agree with them, in fact I don`t see why sports leagues should get any type of exemption, but just point out that fact.

Also, wasn`t there a fictional book or something that talks about how in the future steroid is MANDATORY in order to play sports? I though I remember hearing something about that.

Anyway, just my two cents
