When I first heard this story it got my dander up. And trust me you don’t want to mess with my dander!

Here’s what happened. A group of college kids, all presumably of legal drinking age, staged a protest wherein they marched en masse off campus and to a local bar. There they ordered and drank alcoholic beverages.

That’s it. That was the protest - college kids drinking. By those standards the college town I live in is practically in a constant state of riot.

These particular students were protesting a rule at their school that prohibits drinking by any student, any time, on or off campus. This is where my dander started to become an issue. How dare they try to prohibit adults from participating in a legal activity? Why if they receive any sort of government funding…

And that’s when the light went on in my head. See, I caught this story on CNN and was only partially paying attention at first. The important detail is that this is Anderson University, an institution associated with the Church of Christ. No wonder they prohibit drinking!

So my dander is back down but I must say that I’m pretty irritated with these kids. If they wanted to drink at college why the hell did they ever even apply to Anderson? It is no secret that drinking is prohibited there. This is a little like buying a Hummer then writing a letter of complaint to the manufacturer because it gets crappy mileage. You knew this going in, numb-nuts!
