Benjamin Franklin, in one of the Silence Dogood letters, said of students of Harvard,
"...they return...as great blockheads as ever, only more proud and self-conceited."

That's just it, they don't have the best and brightest, they have the liberal and the unqualified affirmative action recipients.

The best thing for this country would be for all the Ivy League schools to vanish along with their faculty and students. Better yet, send them to Russia. Let them have to deal with these idiots.
