Who would want to form opinions from educated people, after all? For example:
John Adams - Harvard
John Hancock - Harvard
Thomas Jefferson - College of William & Mary
Samuel Adams - Harvard
John Jay - King's College
Alexander Hamilton - King's College
"The typical education of the time—what we would now call a
classical education—began at about age eight. Students who went to school were required to learn
Latin and
Greek grammar and to read the Roman historians Tacitus and Livy, the Greek historians Herodotus and Thucydides, and to translate the Latin poetry of Vergil and Horace. A formal education also stressed the seven liberal arts:
grammar,
logic, and
rhetoric (the trivium), as well as
arithmetic,
geometry,
astronomy, and
music (the quadrivium)."
These are the men whom you claim to look up to - and who people followed to their deaths - but whom you don't seem to have the desire to emulate, or respect others who do.
These men would be called "fags" in the Bear Pit, today.
Some people just need to stay in the cannon ball catching lane. You may be a man amongst men over there, but you're still somebody else's tool, everywhere else.
