Both of these stories appeared on MSNBC.COM today.
The first one was titled "Half of college students consider suicide".
The second one was titled "College presidents seek drinking age debate" with the subtitle: "They are calling on lawmakers to consider moving age back to 18."
I don't know about you but many issues relating to suicide are caused by depression and it has long been thought that drinking could potentially bring on depression.
Are the stories unrelated?
Probably.
But you would think that MSNBC would have someone checking these stories to make sure they don't run on the same day.

About Me
- Holysmokes
- A LITTLE - VERY LITTLE - ABOUT ME I've been watching movies since before I could walk and since I've retired from the big Insurance Industry after 38 years, I have watched more movies than I care to admit. Yet, people still come to me and say 'hey Mike, what's a good movie?' and of course I give my views. So I said to myself, self, you have a Blogger account. Create a new blog with movie reviews. And thus I do so now.
