LOL. You are certainly funnier than me, Pudge. The poll is hysterical. You keep the sensor of humor and I will keep lapping you on the intelligence side.
How about addressing the issues instead of trolling? You think Bonds doesn't deserve to be indicted for lying and obstructing justice? Do you think Bonds never used steroids?

1. sensor of humor? what are you, [censored] illiterate or something?
2. did he deserve to be indicted for obstruction of justice? not after 4 years. statute of limitations should apply here just because BALCO was solved long long long long long ago.
3. they have a positive drug test for bonds. he used steroids. that doesn't change the fact that this whole process was completely pointless.
4. you're STILL a [censored] idiot.

By no means is TMTTR an idiot. Step back and think about his point for a bit. The whole BALCO matter was not intended to go forward as a vehicle for prosecuting perjury. However, when it seems likely that a witness is lying to a grand jury, the scope of the proceedings neccessarily expands to include prosecution for perjury.
In the grand scheme of things, it is very important that people tell the truth, especially under oath. It is a fundamendal part of our justice system and worth the expenditure of resources for its protection. At that point, it is not a matter of dollars and cents, its about maintaining our institution of law and order. If the witness would tell the truth from the beginning, this problem is avoided.
