Tens of thousands dead in a war in iraq. Drilling in nature preserves. The death penalty. the destruction of the social security system. No raise in minimum wage as people lose their homes and children go hungry on the streets.

And steroids in major league baseball.

One of these is not like the other. Guess which one.

Yet the u.s. Congress seems more intent on solving this problem, going as far as subpoenaing several players, then any of the others that are life and death situations for man, animal, and perhaps the entire planet itself.

So what are they doing?

Avoiding the issues, of course. The important ones. The ones that dictate the future. Instead they're more worried about grown men taking drugs so they can play a child's game better.

This is my country right now. and it sucks.
