Columbia costs something like 45K a year to attend, and only about half of the roughly seven thousand undergrads qualify for any assistance. Do the math.
A lot of those Columbia students may not fit your idea of what a successful person is (hell, during my time there they annoyed me), but after college, a good chunk of these kids will actually go to some of the best law schools (as opposed to a TTTT like yourself) and go on to prestigious clerkships or top law firms, where they will indeed wield far, far more power than you ever will in Oklahoma.
Just so you know, and you'll stop talking out of your ass...

Most of those Columbia grads would probably trade places with me. I could have transferred to a T-2 after my first year (was #5 in my section), decided not to. I turned down law review as well.
Family law brings in the bucks as divorce/custody cases are very common. It's definitely not the only thing we do, however. Big law is highly overrated.
I'll have 99% of those Columbia grads beat in terms of both influence and salary. Sure it's Oklahoma, but it's a great place to live. I guess you can look down your nose at flyover states, but I'm pretty happy here.

did anyone else have a hard time following the speech?
i don't know if it was a case of many things truly being lost in the translation, or just rambling thoughts. i had a similar experience understanding(or not) and following the speech of a muslim cleric who had been invited to speak at my church several years ago.
the main thing i took away from his speech(the iranian president) was that no matter what he was saying, it always circled back to him-he seems to be the center of his universe; he is an academic, he is interested in further research concerning the Holocaust, he has been insulted.

I don't see how any person of even moderate intelligence can deny the holocaust happened.
But then again, he thinks there are no gays in his country of 63 million.
I think it was good of Columbia to invite him to speak. People like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad need to be exposed for what they are.
It was shocking to me that people who attended actually applauded him. Aside from those crazies, however, I think most of us benefited by seeing what we're up against in the middle east. I bona fide psychopath.

Trust me when I say that you aren't sharp enough to have this conversation with me....back off while you still have time.
PS....there are MANY museums dedicated to the holocausts pertaining to the victims of all that have occured since this country has been established.

Don't be an idiot. You know which holocaust I'm referring to. Unless you think Mahmud was denying the existence of American slavery, you're just trying to steer the thread back to your little struggle. You then pepper your ramblings with idiotic comments about my intelligence. Grow up.

No I didn't but I wasn't the dumb schmuck that actually had the audacity to ask someone HERE if the holocaust actually existed.
"You don't think the holocaust happened?
yes or no"
Man please....how exactly did you think I was going to answer?
And I am not the only adding flavor about your lack of intellectual capacity.

Trust me when I say that I'm not sure anyone around here is sharp enough to have this conversation with you. I'm not sure Carl Sagan could figure out what you're trying and failing to communicate. I do get the distinct impression, however, that actually figuring it out would in the end be most unsatisfying and hardly worth the effort -- posts full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Drolefille is welcome to give it a try, though.
I did laught at this sentence, however:

He probably thought you weren't going to pretend you didn't know which one he was talking about.
INSULT. ANGER AT QUESTION THAT WAS USED TO CLARIFY MISCONCEPTION. RHETORICAL QUESTION THAT ISN'T RHETORICAL SINCE POSTER DIDN'T ANSWER SENSIBLY.
BLAH BLAH INSULT.
