We should support Barry Bonds because of the fact that records are meant to be broken. Barry chasing history only makes the historical event more meaningful. Instead of talking about the person breaking the record, we are talking about the person holding the record. If you don't support history in the making then what is history in terms meant for.

Barry Bonds' only knock on him is that he said in a sworn statement, that wasn't suppose to be leaked, that he had cream rubbed on his body. Barry has not been tested positively for any illegal substance; and for the past five years has been the most tested person in the world beside Lance Armstrong. Barry has been tested by the government, the baseball commission, and finally the media. He has not been caught with any drug that is banned on the list for baseball, and since Barry continues to clear the theory of drugs in his system, baseball has put more items on the banned drugs list in order to catch the man at something.

America support Lance Armstrong with his run to greatness, and with all the rummors coming from the French, American's still had thier open arms out to Lance Armstrong. Why because in the "Rural Eyes" Armsrong was a better marketing scheme because of the battle with cancer. Barry Bonds only problem is he is a "Minority" in a world where the majority rule is you cheated because your bigger than us, or when I was that age I couldn't do that. Yes Barry has peers that have been introuble with the drugs, just like I had high school friend stealing cars. If my peers do it does that make me a cheater; I no I don't think so, so why should we say so.

Barry works hard at what he does and ever since he reached 30 he has been working out even harder, in the world where modern techonolgy can make aging bones stronger with surgery, getting old is now a myth. It use to be that when you turned 40 years old women can not bare children with out risks. Well today we are seing 60 year old women giving birth to babies, and the term 40 something is like 30 something. People we are aging slower today than they were aging in the yester-years. We should support a milestone being changed because a era is an era no matter how you slice it. Who knows in 20 years 100 years old will not be the greatest milestone for mankind. Support Barry like we did Lance Armstrong because if we don't we will be just like the French, which is searching for nothing.
