Darwin Principle at Work

A school bus was returning from a picnic two days ago with 80 including the principle of the school, a teacher, a driver and his assistant. The buses offical capacity is 35. The bus driver and his assistant were drunk. Knowing this, the principle told them they must suck on some lemons which he thought would make them sober. Needless to say, he was wrong. The bus hit a pole and rolled over. The teacher, the principle and a student were killed in the crash.
The driver and his assistant worked valiently to help the children...at least in a world that made sense. Here, they ran away and left the kids with the dead bodies. It is strange to me to read more than a few stories about problems with alcohol because I almost never see anyone under the influence in town.
