The fact that his blood alcohol content was “more than twice the legal limit for driving” has absolutely nothing to do with anything. The “legal limit for driving” is arbitrarily low, so that anyone can be determined as drunk if they have any detectable amount of alcohol. This way, they can be charged thousands of dollars in fines and attorneys’ fees to help keep the municipal bureaucracies running. I am certainly not saying that there shouldn’t be some restrictions on alcohol consumption while or prior to driving, I just think that the .08% measure is very close to almost negligible.

Now this university that fell off of a tower was not operating a motor vehicle. He was climbing a tower, which is stupid on its own. He probably would have died anyway, because of the principles of Darwinism, more than having had a couple of beers. He was probably clumsy. I’m sorry he died, especially because they think they can blame it on alcohol.

When I was in school, my university climbed up the inside of an old smokestack. It had rock-climbing equipment and planned on rappelling down the outside. When it was almost to the top, the old generator started up and fumigated the university, which then fell to its death.

I see universities haven't gotten any smarter over the years.
