I understand the concept of representative democracy vs. direct democracy.

I also understand that Federal policies are not dictated by, of all things, a poll on CBS Sportsline.

But I also think that members of the House of Representatives should Represent their constituencies:

"Is Congress wasting time with baseball and steroids?

34% No
66% Yes

Total Votes: 5651"

Best-case scenario is what, exactly?

Let's say performance-enhancing drugs are completely eliminated from baseball forever and every single baseball player who ever used performance-enhancing drugs is identified and punished.

It was still a waste of time.

The old, white men in Congress are very concerned with protecting the legacy of Maris's 1961 homerun record. Probably have a charming story of a freckle-faced younger version of themselves sneaking a radio into their bedrooms and listening to baseball games after their parents had tucked them in. Especially Willie, Mickey, and the Duke. God Bless the Good Ol' Days. It's an outrage that cheaters and liars have stolen the records from True Americans like Roger Maris and Hank Aaron.

Let's make a collective decision apply 1/10th of this outrage towards the price of gas.
