Sorry to see they won. Although I’ve never really liked them, I liked them even less after the Duke fake rape case. If those young men would have been basketball players would the school have reacted the same way. I seriously doubt it.
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as “bad luck.” - Robert Heinlein
