The Line and Where It's Drawn
2005-04-18 08:24

Darren Everson has a must read piece in the NY Daily News today on Brian Roberts. (I keep starting to type Dave ...) Roberts is using legal supplements to give himself the best shot to succeed.

So, why is the line drawn here instead of there. It's an arbitrary thing and the quicker we acknowledge that, the better. It reminds me of what we called the "magic summer" in high school. A couple friends of mine were seniors and they dated sophomores, the first year in the high school (HS was 10-12, Jr high was 7-9). None of them would be caught dead kissing a ninth grader, but once that magic summer past, they were fair game. There was no good reason for this, but drugs/supplements are much like teenage girls: the reasons we have laws prohibiting it is because people want them!
