'Government Doesn't Get It'

RECEIVED Thu., June 21, 2012

Dear Editor,
    In response to Roger Clemens being acquitted of all charges.
    Government still doesn't get it at all. Government needs to stay out of our daily lives. Period!
    It just wasted millions of tax dollars on a useless, ruthless, unsuccessful, power-driven attempt to prove former Major League Baseball pitcher Roger Clemens was guilty of taking growth hormones and steroids.
    After years of costly investigation, Clemens was cleared of all charges.
    Just like big business, baseball teams are able to provide their employees with responsible management and, when needed, appropriate punishment for various levels of behavior.
    Government has enough problems working in the best interests of the American people. It has no right to interfere in matters that do not concern it.
    So, we need to keep government out of our daily lives.
