Ivy League vs Public Institution Databases

[Joe]

Yes, I'm a democrat.
But the documents I wanted to look at are held in the public domain.
The institutions that hold them are only stewards - they don't own them. The Library of Congress could ask for them tomorrow.
If they had the Declaration of Independence, they could do the same thing.

Is everything really a business? Or does education facilitate commerce by providing a skilled workforce.

If you equalize education those with means will be willing to pay for a better education- and a market will be created to supply a better education. You will wind up with the same system.
Alot of fund raising goes to scholarships and fund over-achievers who cannot afford the more quality educations. These schools and other orgs give out tons of $$$ in scholarships. I know kids who had 75% of their education funded at good schools since they shot the lights out in high school.

I've always believed libraries and now the internet offer lifetimes of info to an open mind. The possibilities are endless.
