Ridiculous!!

I don't mean to just go crazy and rant, but I simply can't believe the federal government is taking it's time and our resources to investigate the use of steroids in Major League Baseball. Unbelievable! The last few days we have read in the papers and watched the TV news cover the investigation that was led initially by what is referred to as the "Mitchell Report." From what I have heard, "Mitchell" is retired from office in the House of Representatives. Yet we see now an official "committee" made up of active House members. My question is, "Do they not have more important items of national and international concern, than their inquiry as to whether or not Roger Clemens used steroids?" PLEASE!!!!! This is ridiculous, and needs to be addressed! I'm not in any way saying that the use of illegal drugs should be tolerated in any fashion. But what I am saying is that with all of the major issues going on in our world today, what does the U.S. House of Representative have to do with this? This is another clear indicator of the terrible imbalance that seems to pervade in our society. Multi-millionaires who dictate the "News" of the day, and the spending of tax dollars simply because they are screw-ups. Please tell me there are more important issues than this.
What can you do? You can voice your opinion to your representatives. Call your representatives and senators and let them know that you are outraged at the idea of federal representatives spending resources on such ridiculous issues. You can find the phone numbers of your elected officials in the "Blue Pages" of the phone book. Let them know - "This is Ridiculous!!!"
