My brother-in-law who is an embezzler, and more money oriented than anyone I know (his conversation is all about salary and cost of toys), but also an evangelical (he can't talk about his church without talking about money either) had your avatar in the form of a flag on his lawn. Caused me to Google image search it as I suspected a Christian symbol I didn't know about. Nope: Georgia Tech. It's a very good school. But it didn't teach you to reason dispassionately or how to weigh evidence.
Some people are more into their toys than others.
But how do you weigh this evidence: does it follow from your anecdote that ALL Georgia Tech graduates are money-oriented, Evangelical embezzlers?
If not, what is your point?

The point is that one can go to that school without being very intelligent or very moral. She did not say anything that applies to everyone who went there.
