The Roger Clemens/steroids/testifying on Capitol Hill absurdity

It's far too early for me to be crafting eloquent arguments, so i'll be brief. I'm NOT saying steroids are OK in sports. They're not. I think it's sad and pathetic and absolutely taints ANY accomplishment. I mean, you KNOW how I feel about drugs. But you know what? These aren't murderers. The IDEA that they're summoned to Washington to testify before lawmakers...wasting our taxpayer money AND valuable time that could be spent on FAR worthier national issues...is more than a little absurd, don't you think? Honestly, you'd think he slaughtered a family of four with a machete, the way they're treating Roger Clemens today. Which brings me to another issue. Clemens is ONE man. ONE man out of THOUSANDS in professional sports. MANY more have used steroids...and we don't even know that Clemens IS guilty of injecting himself. But it's like they pick and choose who to go after. And if Clemens -- or ANYONE -- is INNOCENT, their ENTIRE reputations are FOREVER tarnished. Ugh, I don't know what the fuck the answer is...how about the mere shame of the world knowing that you cheated? To involve Congress and perjury and jail time and harsh rebukes from politicians who are more than likely guilty of FAR greater crimes themselves...NOT NECESSARY.
