After-all, most people who wait until 21 to drink (and actually abide by the law) generally are not the type to binge drink anyway. I wish they could implement something that is specific to college campuses and not off-campus, but I suppose that is hard to apply.<BR/><BR/>But at least have the discussion!Spirophitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05967452072565873521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373007534577248863.post-91178560046220863542008-08-20T07:57:00.000-05:002008-08-20T07:57:00.000-05:00I could not agree more! MADD's response made me downright angry--so angry that I skipped the obvious 'mad' play on words. They come off about as myopic as the NRA. The university presidents on the other hand... their stock has gone up significantly by their willingness to engage, nay, leadership to spark this conversation. It really demonstrates that the safety of their students is front of mind.Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17985933004493718596noreply@blogger.com
