I'm seething with anger at congress spending their time investigating a business for steroid use. What purpose is this to the taxpayers????? Does this help solve the war, educational deficiencies, hunger, bad tax laws, immigration, skyrocketing health care cost.... MLB is a PRIVATE BUSINESS that can set it own rules regarding the use of legal and illegal substances. If anything maybe a criminal probe on illegal substances BUT THAT'S IT. Get back to your real jobs and stop spotlighting yourself. What next?? Hollywood actors using steriods to fit the part?? where does end congress???????????

I just wanna start off by saying this was the first time i've ever done something like this before and It will never happen again.

these were the charges brought against me. "...Commit the of criminal mischief by entering sports authority store and purposefully damaging three gaming tables valued at 329.95, by urinating on all three tables...

...Commit the offense of lewdness specifically by walking into sports authority while it was open for business and taking his penis in an area of the store where it was reasonable to assume that he would have been seen by other and urinated on merchandise that was for sale..

...he urinated on merchandise and the floor of the store thereby leaving body fluid around which caused a hazardous condition to customers and employees. "

What is going to happen to me, when i go to court?
How much am I going to have to pay?
Is that 329.95 Each for the gaming tables?

"Vento posted two small signs in October 2005 at his shop in a diverse South Philadelphia neighborhood, telling customers, 'This is AMERICA: WHEN ORDERING PLEASE 'SPEAK ENGLISH.' "

"Paul M. Hummer, an attorney for the commission, testified earlier that the sign is not about political speech, but about "intimidation," and that it suggested business from certain individuals was not wanted."

My friend told me that in Mexico, during election weekend, it is illegal to sell alcohol. She found this out when the alcohol she was trying to take across the border was confiscated because she happened to be going during election weekend.

It then occurred to me that in the United States, you can get as drunk as you want and go vote, as long as you do it by 7!

What are your thoughts on this? :o)

Mostly these are people who hate Al Gore - correct? It's all about personalities, not science - right?

Why don't they spend 5 or 10 minutes reading a reputable site like this;

I feel, at times, like I'm a perfect duality.
I tend to be totally neutral, and only make decisions as a situation calls for it...
Does anybody think that makes me fit for debate?
