It sure helps being a member of a government-approved minority.
I happened to be a monarchist when I went, but that of course wasn't one of them.
As I've mentioned before one of my roommates flunked out of West Point--he had lower grades, college board scores, etc.--but that proved no hindrance for him to attend a competitive school at a full boat scholarship, which was simply amazing to me at the time. Esp. when slightly lesser schools made me understand I was wasting my time even applying.

I've since learned that liberals are totally into bean counting accidents of birth. I think our choices, not what group we happen to be born into, counts for far more. Like what we put into our brains.
