Editor, the Advocate:

Why is it that the big shots from the tobacco companies and the presidents of the six big oil companies can stand before senators, raise their right hands, swear to the the truth, then lie through their teeth about the addiction of nicotine, and the oil companies outrageous price of gasoline and their extreme billion-dollar profits and all of their blatant lies are totally ignored?

However, a female athlete lies about taking steroids, and a baseball player lies about the same thing, to the same senators and one is already in prison and the other seems doomed to follow. Where is the justice in that situation?
