{seriously America?}

so if you haven't heard, the famous michael phelps was caught smoking marijuana....

ya. this is the guy who was in the olympics.
the guy whom i stayed up even in the wee hours of the morning to watch his events,
the guy who won 8 gold medals for his incredible athleticism,
the one is being called one of the greatest athletes in the world and maybe of all time,
the one who has surpassed hundreds of records in swimming,
the one who acts as a role model, and is on the front of my nephews cereal box
(the list could go on and on..)

and he's caught smoking marijuana.

for me, and this is strictly my opinion, could any choice be more stupid?
but America.. they voted and 80% said "he's 23, who cares?!?"

no, you can say that about my neighbor who is 23 years old, sits on his porch all day and smokes marijuana.
i thought we held Olympic and World Champions to a little bit of a higher standard.

seriously America?
