Campuses across the country ban alcohol for everyone to punish a few

k-state collegian - Jonas Hogg (article)

I had forgot about this article that was in the newspaper today. Since I point out the crappy articles in there, I should also give credit to the good articles.


Well, it seems that our universities are full of idiots. Actually, allow me to clarify. Our universities are full of two kinds of idiots.

The first type consists of binge drinkers. These are the people whose sole purpose is to consume as much of the cheapest booze around in the shortest possible time. It seems that — surprise!, surprise! — these people are starting to turn up dead on an increasingly frequent basis.

If I seem caustic and unsympathetic, that’s because, well, I am. There is a concept in nature known as “survival of the fittest.” This states that those organisms that are stronger, faster and smarter than the others will be most likely to pass their genes on to the next generation.

Obviously, if you are one of the people who believe “one drink is good, so 100 must be the cat’s meow,” then you are failing on the smart scale. Buzzzzz! No gene passing for you, plant food!

The second group of idiots are those “in power,” who are choosing to punish an entire student body due to the irresponsibility of a handful of people.

Because, everyone knows, if you have a problem, just pass a new law. After all, the 18th Amendment — Prohibition — solved all sorts of problems.


Agreed.
