My passion for all things related to the outdoors placed me on a collision course with many of world's less pleasant issues.....and shaped me politically.

I am not knowing how all of you discovered your politics. For me, in the pursuit of my active outdoors hobbies I was placed in conflict again and again with greed, exploitation, selfishness and destruction of the world. Many find their politics from parents or school. How did everyone find theirs?

Bari Bonds, former MLB slugger, was the subject of squabbles about steroid over-use.
Yes, his weigh-in got very suspicious over the years.
Conservative estimates of his over-use were that the over-use was not one bit conservative, in fact liberal.
