And I am for throwing the book at guys who use illegal stuff. If I use Elephant juice and get caught I deserve life. But they arent catching those kind of guys and that kind of stuff and all the crap that is being spewed in the media doesnt come close to getting that situation under control. Bill Finley wants to get rid of Lasix. I want to get rid of Bill Finley.
