Is Steroids Really An Issue? What Congress Really Needs To Focus On…..

Thought of and conceived and then written by BIG CED

Congress, according to dictionary.com:

1. (initial capital letter)
a. the national legislative body of the U.S., consisting of the Senate, or upper house, and the House of Representatives, or lower house, as a continuous institution.
b. this body as it exists for a period of two years during which it has the same membership: the 96th Congress.
c. a session of this body: to speak in Congress.
2. the national legislative body of a nation, esp. of a republic.
3. a formal meeting or assembly of representatives for the discussion, arrangement, or promotion of some matter of common interest.
4. the act of coming together; an encounter; meeting.
5. an association, esp. one composed of representatives of various organizations.
6. familiar relations; dealings; intercourse.
7. coitus; sexual intercourse.

Well, I never knew about number 6 and 7 but it makes sense when it comes to these elected officials!

Now I write about the meaning of Congress today because, as we all know, there is an issue being discussed in congress about the use of steroids and HGH (Human Growth Hormone) in professional sports, baseball specifically. Money is being spent trying to go after the likes of Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds and other prominent players who are suspected of using steroids and/or HGH which is banned in professional sports. These players are being labeled cheaters and not playing by the rules in pursuit of personal achievements and longevity in their respective sports. All of this attention being paid to this issue when it should be governed by the sports officials of the professional organizations (Even though they are doing a poor job of monitoring and punishing players rumored and/or caught taking the illegal substances). I mention this to say why isn’t the same type of attention being paid to the social ills in our communities?

Ills such as racism, homelessness, financial crises, crime, oil and gas price gouging, insurance companies’ unnecessary high premiums and low payouts. Education, the corrupted political system, the unfair prison system, social security reform, etc., you get the picture!

Congress needs to refocus on more important matters, I know when I voted, I didn’t do it to have them make sure our sports players were not using illegal drugs to enhance their game!
