[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mandatory military service for all - like we used to have - would change that. Think of the "Greatest Generation." The men and women who fought the Second World War and defeated fascism and then brought the U.S. to the heights of greatness all served. The Ivy Leager stood in the same ranks as the kid from the working class. He learned he was no better or no worse. He was equally capable of taking a bullet for his country as was the working class kid. It should be the same today. Do you maggots understand that? [/quote] Heh heh. Although the Greatest Generation also invented the word "Ivy League" (in 1954, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League) College life in the 1950s conjures up images, to me at least, of Boston Brahmins lounging around in tennis whites and thinking about how to exclude everyone else. Colleges, Ivy League and otherwise, were pretty class-ridden in those days. Signed, Ivy Leaguer with kid in an Ivy now[/quote]
