I'm a little curious whether anyone in government actually cares about children as human beings. I understand that they're great for getting votes and justifying your censorship of the word "cunt", but is there anything else they can do? Can they unclog my sink or remove carpet stains? If children are so great, let them do all the work and give me my summers back.
If children are important because they're human beings, then how about we give a little thought to what an adult human being's life requires? If it's ok to piss on the rights of human beings once they've become adults, I really don't see all the fuss about protecting them while they're children. I say we let them die young. Let the children die from their steroid-induced testicle implosions while they're still young, rather than making them wait 18 years before we crush their balls in a vice in the name of protecting some new batch of kids.
Yeah, I know. Steroid use is against the rules. So let the professional sports organizations tell their players, "You broke the rules." End of story.
If these organizations don't want to tell their players to stop using steroids, I'm fine with that, too. As long as athletes are using steroids, though, I suggest we find out if any of these guys has experienced any actual side effects. This seems to me like a decent opportunity for a medical study. If it turns out that there is, dare I say, a safe way to use steroids, then the organizations should encourage their players to use them. I'd sure hate to see the honest players who care about their bodies be deprived of steroids.
Granted, I'm no steroids expert. However, I do have a little knowledge on the subject of coffee. Apparently, it's addictive. I've heard it has adverse side-effects. But some people still claim it improves their concentration. Some say it even helps them work earlier in the morning. Certain companies give it out for free and don't even ask you for a doctor's note. You can't buy an Olympics steroids needle, but you can get an Olympics coffee mug.
Not once, though, have I heard anyone talk about banning coffee, in sports, at work, or anywhere else. (Well, not because of the caffeine, anyway. People in Berkeley wanted to ban coffee grown by poor people in third-world countries and the dangerous practice of recycling (gasp!) protective coffee-cup sleeves.)
