It seems unlikely to me that Harvard or similar makes you intelligent.

:yes: The smartest guy I ever met was smarter than anyone who ever went to Harvard.
:) Thank you.

Yi went to Harvard, Garbo to Stanford. 
I rest my case.

Yi is a graduate from a Jesuit institution.  Despite his unfortunate amnesia regarding the concepts of Social Justice taught by the soldiers of Holy Mother Church, he is still better than than any Ivy Leaquetards.

Speaking of social justice, good article in the NYT Sunday Magazine on Occupy Oakland you might want to check out.  Anarchists in the streets and hippies in City Hall.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Poor Oakland. It can never catch a break.

They've caught a number of breaks.  Terminus of the transcontinental railroad, large scale armaments manufacturing during WWII.

You can't become a truly epic crap city unless you had it good at one point.
