Son, did you just say "socialism?" That sounded a lot like socialism. Are you a socialist? Because as we all know, the only socialism allowed in America is for the troops.

I should amend to add that I couldn't possible give the first fuck less about the Ivy League. If 'm trying to hire someone, I barely glance at where they went to school. I know enough people who went to Ivies and enough people who went to middle of the road state schools to know better than to think it makes a difference to the type of person you are. It probably matters in business and law, but in my field it matters fuckall. So I'm all for government sponsored reparations, and free shit for the troops, too, for that matter, but only to the extent that I think any education is as good as any other education. You get out what you put in for the most part.
