I know people are going to hate me for this, but this thread is tiresome.
There is no way to be objective about this. There simply isn't unless one can come up with objective standards by which to measure "elite-ness" (I know, probably not a word).
I've read through the posts and the following comes to mind:
* We are all elite
* We are all special
* We all have things to be proud of
* We all have interesting and unique histories that should be celebrated
We can continue to make claims as to why XYZ is more elite than ABC, but, let's face it, there is no real way to prove these claims or prove that ABC is any better than XYZ.
I know you're probably thinking, "just don't read the thread anymore if you don't like it." That's just what I plan to do because I truly believe each and every organization has its own claim to the title "elite."
Flame me if you will, but those are just my thoughts (for what they're worth).
