Was Abe Lincoln a 99%er?
« on: July 18, 2012, 08:03:31 AM »

The Morrill Act was meant to expand access to college education so working-class people could have practical studies in agriculture, military tactics, mechanics and classical studies -- expanding higher education beyond the elite Eastern schools

99%, 1%, what a ridiculous assertion by a small group of social misfits.
