Last time I checked, we live in a capitalist society! That means people with more means have access to more things! Oh no, perish the thought! Someone actually bettered themselves and earned more money so they can enjoy the finer things in life! What an "elitist" prick!
Seriously, true socialism and/or communism (in theory) would be the height of human achievement. But this, of course, would have to go in tandem with a basic redefining of human nature: that we all focus on our own best interests. And unless humans as a species are willing, very quickly, to sacrifice our own well-being for the interests of the common good, socialism/communism will never be more than a theory, and cannot work in actual practice.
When you take away the ability to excel, you are removing incentives for doing so. And by removing incentives, both the quantity and quality of goods and services will diminish rapidly. So good luck ever enjoying a nice vacation again, or for that matter, living past the age of 50. Research, technology, advancement, etc. would all be meaningless, as there would be no incentive to do so.
What does all of this have to do with beer sales in TCF? Much like an individual, the U must always act in its own best self-interest in the furtherance of self-preservation. This is why beer will never, ever be served during a college football game there. There is far too much risk associated with its consumption. How many millions of dollars in beer sales is even one human life worth?
you are right, no one ever died after years of games at the dome.
This is something that can never be proven. There is no way of knowing whether someone drank in excess and either killed themselves or someone else on the way home from the Metrodome. One would think that something like this would be publicized, but that is not necessarily so.
Are we trying to achieve the gold standard that Wisconsin has set for us? The reason that state sucks so much is that all people care about is drinking and acting like idiots. My wife's entire family is from Wisconsin, and out of all her parents' siblings, only one settled down and had kids in Wisconsin, while the rest moved out of state. Guess what? All three of her cousins from that family are raging alcoholics, while the other, non-Wisconsite cousins all enjoy in moderation. Is that what we as a fan base aspire to? To be like Wisconsin? If that is the case, I may renounce my Gopher status and start cheering for Florida or something.
