Thanks; unfortunately many show up with incredible resentment due to crushing inferiority complexes.

Yes, there are certainly benefits to importing populations with no traditions such as the Magna Carta, Bill of Rights, etc. - they’ll accept a totalitarian state that gives them free sh!t.

The most recent Harvard Magazine has an article about legacy admissions and affirmative action.

I’m not sure about copyright of the material, otherwise I would post it in its entirety. Here is a comment by the new president.

“As for the preference given to legacies, Bacow said it is not pointed out often enough that “Legacies are, as a group, arguably the most qualified applicants…by any measure.” That should be so: highly educated parents ought to be, and disproportionately are, interested in securing the benefits of that kind of learning for their progeny.

Mine’s been over-ankified.

Dr. James Watson is a RIGHTFUL Nobel Laureate for his major role in the determination of the structure of DNA. Don’t listen to the garbage-mouths who say that he and Francis Crick “stole it” from Rosalind Franklin!!! All the discoverers of the DNA structure receive proper credit in a group of three papers back in 1953.

Dr. Watson never again achieved a discovery nearly as great as what he did at age 25. However, he mentored numerous leading (in some cases Nobel Prize winning) scientists, and SAVED the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory from total destruction and closure, and led it to greatness. He spearheaded the Human Genome Project as well.

He may have views on race of questionable validity. They are at least politically incorrect, and probably should be subjects for further inquiry rather than firm conclusions. However, it is SHAMEFUL in the extreme to beat on a 90-year-old man, and strip him of what honors, positions, and salaries he retains, as rewards for a lifetime of contributions.

Amy Harmon is just another vile, disgusting gutter journo, who like others of her ilk is an enemy of America and of humanity!!!! And she works for the once well-regarded New York Times, which is now a nest of such lowlife journos, and is not even worth using for toilet paper!!!!

Anyone who follows Ms. Harmon on Twitter and parrots her atrocious attacks on Dr. Watson is just another specimen of radical-Dim garbage! They should watch out for what might happen to them if and when they reach an advanced age! It may not be pretty!!!!

“And Western Civilization is nothing to be proud of and was all stolen from non whites by racist whites”

Putting words in my mouth =/= a witty retort.

“Can I bask the shadow of your moral superiority”

Yes, yes you may.

“Move a little further to the left..”

Cute. I have no tolerance for this nor “climate science”.

Like I said, either attract political extremists that are just looking to “get at” some part of society they are too dickless to flat-out say they want to go after.

As long as neither have to balls to be forthright and hide behind couched language and weasel words, then I’ll keep laughing at them.
