Steroids, like drugs, finally a problem of the past

Baseball star Barry Bonds faces perjury charges, 30 years in prison

Just as young rock and rollers have been spared the plague of illegal drug use with the arrests of Keith Richards and Jerry Garcia, it is high time we finally remove the plague of steroid use among young ballplayers with the indictment of Barry Bonds.

Thank goodness this sordid period of America's past is finally behind us.

One day, our children will look to us and say, "Daddy, Mommy, thank you for finally ridding the world of drugs and steroids. If only more people would have had the courage to give Barry Bonds 30 years."

It's all about the children.
