92. And don't forget affirmative action - oops I meant legacy enrollment

The only affirmative action the right wing elitists don't want to do away with. Dubya got into Yale because his daddy went there. How many more qualified geniuses didn't get in because Dubya took up a space he wasn't qualified for? Only the rich kids get asked to join the secret societies (thankfully they aren't as influential these days, but they're still there)

A line in "The Good Shepherd":
Joseph Palmi: What about you people, Mr. Wilson, what do you have?
Edward Wilson: The United States of America, and the rest of you are just visiting.

(the movie quote site: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343737/quotes

A perfect example of the attitude the elite have about the rest of us.
