This thread, though, is more about how governments spend time on... well, unimportant issues. Like sexy cheerleading.

How much sense does it make to actually debate things like this on the floors of our local goverments and in Congress? Take the steroid issue in sports, for example. Is it really something that should be taking up so much of Washington's time?

I'm sure there're plenty of other examples, but I just can't think of anything at the moment. Do you agree with the government's meddling with small fry issues, or should they stick with trying to cut down on crime, fixing whatever deficits there happens to be right now and acheving world peace?
