In that post, I was playing devil's advocate for a moment, and clarifying your position with the quote from Harvard. People don't usually do that-- take the time to actually consider and clarify opposing opinions-- so I'm not surprised you didn't catch it. But that's what it was.
Anyway, is it really an "increasingly diverse, complex society" though? Or is it that Harvard would like to avoid being branded for what it still mainly is-- a puppy mill for enfranchised rich kids? You want to talk about equal representation? How about demanding that every income group has proportional representation!
Back. The bedframe was a hit, the wife is probably gonna let me put it in her butt...you know, tomorrow, it's late, lol.
I'll settle for equal representation between the equally rich, first. This is america. Baby steps.
