In the 80s I worked for a DC-based magazine with a lot of Georgetown graduates. I was newly discharged from the military, and had grown up as a military “brat” with a lot of non-US experience. Let me just say I was stupified by the stupidity of people educated beyond their intelligence. It was a good lesson in the orientation of the mind-set of the protected class.
A whole bunch of folks will be removed from their protected status this year. 2012 is not going to be good.
