David Brooks' take on the transition...
#10
You can go to Harvard (or any other Ivy League) to get stupid. Any fact or statistic can be twisted to one ideological standpoint or another. Living near a few very prominent elite insitutions, I can assure that some of the most clueless people I know walk the halls of schools people pay $50,000 a year to go to. There is a very good reason that conservatism is not well represented among tenured professors and lecturers. First of all, those that cannot do something teach something, and more importantly, the life of a college professor is enormously separate from the life of Joe Six-Pack. One can deal in theories and platitudes about social wages and economic justice and everything else, but there's no panacea for the human condition.
