Heres' the part of this that pisses me off:

Quote:
"What can we say -- it's December and the BCS is in chaos again," said the bill's sponsor, Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He said the BCS system is unfair and won't change unless prompted by Congress.
This is NOT THE JOB OF THE CONGRESS!!! They are not responsible for correcting every unfair thing in our society. This mindset leads to the expansion of the federal government and the establishment of a nanny state, in which we the people become helpless invalids, relying on the mighty congress to settle every playground squabble.

Grow up, people! Step back, Congress!

Every exercise of government power, however small or seemingly inconsequential, does violence to the freedom of the people.
