<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Bonner, post: 1247704, member: 32536&quot;]Someone told me several years ago that a college degree only measured your ability to sit still for four years. A little oversimplified, as Shakespeare said &quot;if it don&#039;t have a grain of truth it ain&#039;t funny&quot; . (He liked to use local colloquialisms) the comments on college put me to thinking. As a product of the state college systems&#039; the idea of going to UCLA or Emory a new England Ivy league school is not something that I was ever allowed to consider.&nbsp; I know Brown graduates can&#039;t comprehend that but 90% of Americans are not Ivy League material. When I see a movie about the heroine trying to get into Brown I think &quot;If they are trying to get the viewer to identify with the heroine, all they are doing is demonstrating their disconnect&quot;. Don&#039;t get me wrong, I wish I had been private school material, but alas I was not. </p><p><br /></p><p>My rambling point is that this is yet another case of caste in America.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
