He stood tall and made America proud at the Beijing Olympics. This is how America treats its heroes, we forget all of the hard work Michael Phelps did to achieve his task, we forget the pride we felt with the each gold medal, we forget how Phelps helped America to be competitive against a Chinese when they planned on winning all of the golds, we forget all of those things and hang a man for smoking <a>glass pipe</a> at a party. That is our shame; America cares little for appreciation and loyalty but is absolute when it comes to misplaced morality. In short America often finds it easier to tear people down and point fingers than it does to recognize freedom and practice good will. I hope they do try to arrest Michael Phelps to further shed light on our hypocrisy and maybe stir the good people of this country up enough to stand up for their friends and neighbors being persecuted in this "drug War". <a href="www.sunflowerpipes.com" rel="nofollow"></a> Michael Phelps is an American Hero.

He himself is still a developing young man and for petes sake he is human, who has made a mistake and may make more. Who among us has not made mistakes in our youth. Get off his back and keep your stones in your pocket unless you or one of your kids crack one of those windows in your glass house.
