[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And my point is, why are you in a position to make judgments about who should and shouldn't take advantage of certain privileges associated with wealth, connections, etc. (short of breaking the law)?[/quote]

DP: I read the PP's point as akin to the college scandal fraud of claiming that the student is a champion rower worthy of a spot on the crew team. At the high school level, if a kid never participated in activity X in his life, and his donor parents insist that come college application time he be appointed Chief Dedicated Expert in Charge of activity X, that is fraud. And it is not a victimless crime as witnessed by the kids who have been passionately involved in that activity since middle school, who deserve, but don't get to put that top position on their resume.

I recall a poster years ago complaining about certain wealthy boys being named 'Editors' of a Big 3 publication, who had never been involved before, over the kids who had been dedicated to the publication for many years. And there were multiple "Executive Editors" that year instead of the traditional one. There was a thread here about it. Maybe someone can find it.[/quote]

OP here, thank you! Finally someone with some reading comprehension.[/quote]
