oh wow, i cant believe that this has turned into an MIT bashing incident.

what do you want to bet that the sum total of all MIT's brilliant advances and resulting increased boost to our economy from commercialization of said advances exceed the contributions of the entire family tree of w8less dating back to 1776

nice icepick, let's punish the smart athletic successful college student, she is not demonstrating proper American values

those who have died honorably fighting for this country and those who had no choice would roll in their graves to hear you cowardly use their lives as an excuse to give up the very freedoms that make this country truly Great.

Yes, honor the dead and respect their relatives but dont forget what they stood for and show some backbone. Sheepish cowering from all sources of risk is not the heritage of this country. Bravely living our freedom and pursuing our happiness right in the face of those who would destroy our way of life is the BEST way to fight back.
