Both were attacked by the Federal government for no good reason, for the same reason, to wit: The Feds deciding what drugs, what substances, citizens are allowed to use. Now, as far as I can tell, there is no ethical or moral duty to prevent someone from using any Rx, any Dx, so long as your doctor and your mother don't object. Only those two categories, docs and moms, really have any business telling a rational (or reasonably so) adult, or for that matter, a minor who understands the nature of what is happening. The BALCO fiasco (how much did all of that cost the taxpayers, I wonder . ..

The level of bullshit in the media is sickmaking. The entire Bonds trial was an unholy alliance of mercenary media, mlb, and congress rousing rabble, handing out torches and pitchforks, then, having stampeded the masses, piously declare that they owe "the truth" to the public. As is the case with most people, they are far less willing to admit they were wrong than to aid and abet not just a miscarriage of justice, but a purulent septic abortion of righteousness. Today I made the mistake of tuning into 7 Live, a new, "tech-savvy" hot mess of nonsense.

Yes, it keeps dragging on. I still can't figure out the verdict, other than to assume that the jury just didn't understand what the laws were. Now, this were Federal charges, so it's not like what you see on TV. Barry was charged with making false statements to a Grand Jury. The jury deadlocked on all three of those charges, yet they found Barry GUILTY of obstruction of justice -- ridiculous on the face of it. The law is that one must 1) make a false statement and 2) this must be MATERIAL in the outcome of the hearing.

The Bonds trial is in the hands of the jury now. I've got a lot to say about the abomination I witnessed. The Feds are out of control. The media is full of shit. I'm only going to say this once, BARRY WAS NOT CHARGED WITH PERJURY. What he was charged with is making a false statement to a grand jury, and it's clear that the Feds did not, and could not, meet the burden of proof.

Now I know how my father felt when Muhammed Ali was lynched by our government.

The last entry pointed out that our federal government originally tried
to restrict America’s use of both “drugs” and alcohol in January 1920,
but it was done through entirely different legislative mechanisms.
Commerce in alcohol, but not its, consumption, was prohibited by the
18th Amendment. The word drugs is in quotes to emphasize that Americans
had been prodigious consumers of alcohol from the earliest Colonial
