Language Abuse

In the Deseret Morning News there was an article about underage drinking and, specifically, parents giving their kids alcohol and even sponsoring parties (where they take all the car keys from the kids - the assumption that a controlled environment without driving keeps the kids safer). But the unintended hilarity was in one of the comments, obviously from an underage drinker:
Drinkers will drink, when they have the chance to do the deed. Why not supply to the inebriated and interested? These are the days of our lives, growing up in a dry state with hyperventilated ethics and murals! When will we all understand that alcohol doesn't kill, and that kids will be teenagers eventually and adults certainly?
Wow! I didn't know our ethics were hyperventilated! And we have murals!!!

When you have "underfunded" school systems you get "hyperventilated ethics" and "murals."
