Part of the problem is that some people who couldn’t get into Ivy League schools - libs, anyway - tend to glorify those institutions in their minds.

I realize things are different today and security is tighter but back in the early ‘70’s, a buddy and I spent a couple days in Boston sneaking into classes at Harvard by day to see what was so great about the place and drinking in Irish bars by night.

I was more impressed by the bar conversations, personally.

These days you wouldn't even need to sneak. You can access Ivy-League classes on almost any subject for free by poking around YouTube.

Or, if you want to spend a few dollars ($50 to $300), you can get audio cassettes or cd's of complete Ivy League courses (used or new) and listen to them in your car.

It costs almost no money to learn at an Ivy League level. Yet it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to "be educated" by those elitist twits.
