<p>ok, how about legacies, children of faculty, and all groups with extra "lottery tickets"? Obviously, Harvard, the private institution, has reserved spots for them, not for you (if you're not one of them). They're not taking your spots, they're taking the spots Harvard reserved for THEM. Not you. Them. Should they feel guilty because they're so lucky as to have special spots reserved for them by Harvard? Surely, if anybody SHOULD feel guilty, or is responsible, its Harvard. Harvard sets this agenda, whatever you may think of it.</p>
