I take it you don't know many college graduates (or any MBAs). I know plenty of people who have a partial college education that are far smarter than some people I work with who have 4 year degrees.

The King family has done all it can for as long as it can to squeeze every penny out of MLK that they could. Ask yourself "Why wasn't all of this put in a trust of some kind where it could be used to benefit all people? "

Why not go with a Public VLAN and Secure VLAN? Setup the public just to have internet access and the secure to have full access. Make the Public password simple and let it out by word of mouth. That will allow users to access the internet and get mail when they are on campus and keep them away from the important stuff. Obviously, since you admit you don't know what you're doing, you'll hire someone to do this, yes?

15 hours a day of TV?!

Apple will be pissed to find out that I buy ebooks through Amazon on both my Android phone and my iPad.

This is a fallacy in line with "innocent people having nothing to fear from the government" that we hear as justification for illegal wiretaps, which is patent bullshit. If I get in a wreck and it's my fault, my policy (typically) gets reviewed, maybe canceled and my premiums go up. Insurance companies serve me, not the other way around. I've had one ticket in my last 20 years of driving in a large, congested metro area and I sure as hell don't want my insurance company watching me drive.

Exactly. The real solution is to buy some peanut butter (which they love) and make a big ball of peanutbutter and steel wool. Leave it wherever and let them eat it and they'll die. Which will solve most of the problem. Getting rid of the food source will fix all the problem, though. Rats are lazy and don't venture far from their nests for food. No food = no rats.

Chalk one up for arrogance and idealism. It's nice to think that only the low-end people get released in tough times, but it just doesn't work that way. I probably fall into your view of people who don't "deserve" to be in IT, but I've seen a lot of people with a lot more education than I have get released seemingly by whim. Conversely, I work with squads of people who astonish me daily by their determination to clamber onto a chair and bang out an email that is barely legible.
