84. Agreed, but one small bone to pick

I'm a Harvard grad, and like all of my friends, I "paid" to go there with massive amounts of financial aid. And I ate my meals freshman year in Memorial Hall, which is dedicated to the memories of Harvard alums who have lost their lives defending this country.

I'm not saying there are non over-privileged students at places like Harvard, but the vast majority of them have much less of a silver spoon in their mouths than I suppose you imagine and I can assure you that the *vast* majority of current Harvard undergrads would be appalled at the way these veterans were treated. Let's not paint with such a broad brush.
