I remember touring Harvard around '91 when I was looking at colleges. I recall very clearly thinking: "Wow, I will never fit in here with these elites." I never even applied and probably couldn't have afforded it, anyways. Even back then it was very obvious what those schools represent. I don't really care if it is US elite or Saudi elite, the idea that we have an elite class such as it is is incredibly counterproductive to keeping and maintaining a free and open society. We're seeing the the fruits of that elitism right before our very eyes, those chosen to run companies and sit on boards of directors are not the regular people. They are the insiders, invited because of their status. They rotate in and out of government and academia.
So not only is elitism bad for other countries, it is seriously bad for the US as well!
