Overall, though, it's the bigness of the car that counts the most. Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
I have been following this thread with interest, particularly as it wandered off to the subject of "old" money. Question: Why wouldn't these supposedly "old" money people be going to the likes of SMU, Tulane, Vandy, Emory, Duke, W & L, the Ivies or elite eastern schools rather public institutions? Probably not more than 10% of the graduates of my daughters' prep schools went to state schools.
