Once again, the media makes a mountain out of a mole hill and adds fuel to the burning crusade against being personally responsible for your own life and well-being. Out of one tragedy, we grow others. May those 3 souls find peace.
We'll miss you Scotty. You may be gone, but you'll never be forgotten. You always had a way of saying something to me that would make me smile, no matter how my day was going. You are truly special.
This is news how? College students getting drunk and dieing is an every day occurance in this country. Be it in a motor vehicle accident, drowning in a river, or dieing in a fire. Accidents are still the number one killer of young adults, most involve substance or alcohol use. That is not news. If governments passed a law banning alcohol sales within a 30 mile radius of a college or university that would be news worth reporting and have some meaning. Otherwise this is just another statistic that no one will act on except to do a little education with students that will end up being mostly ineffective.
