Re: California
GQ,<br /><br />When it comes to skeletons, Wisconsin wins big. We got Dahmer and Ed Gein.<br /><br />It appears you used US News and world report as your source for your position. Here is their listing of the top 50. Please pay special attention to #12, #15 and #42. Thanks for the additional posted information, it was very informative but really somewhat irrelavent to your original statement which I was responding to. Just selected factors that figure into the positions that the schools are placed at within the rating system. Please see the link I provided below.<br /><br />How did you arrive at your above statements without seeing the list outlined below? Also your C&P above appear to be directly from this site. There seems to be exactly 9 in the top 50 and 2 in the top 10.<br /><br />
2) Each year our Colleges and Universities produce more entrepreneurs than any state. We have 9 Universities ranked in the top 50. Two of which in the top 10. A few years ago Cal-Tech and Berkeley ranked one and two respectively. We contribute so much in term of Science and Technology. You repay us by throwing mud pies and say we lack morals yet you want to be like us.
Here is the top 50 from my source. (I provided the link below)<br /><br />1 Harvard University (MA) <br />1 Princeton University (NJ) <br />3 Yale University (CT) <br /> 4 University of Pennsylvania <br /> 5 Duke University (NC) <br /> 5 Stanford University (CA) <br /> 7 California Institute of Technology <br /> 7 Massachusetts Inst. of Technology <br /> 9 Columbia University (NY) <br /> 9 Dartmouth College (NH) <br /> 11 Washington University in St. Louis <br /> 12 Northwestern University (IL) <br /> 13 Cornell University (NY) <br /> 13 Johns Hopkins University (MD) <br /> 15 Brown University (RI) <br /> 15 University of Chicago <br /> 17 Rice University (TX) <br /> 18 University of Notre Dame (IN) <br /> 18 Vanderbilt University (TN) <br /> 20 Emory University (GA) <br /> 20 University of California Berkeley* <br /> 22 Carnegie Mellon University (PA) <br /> 23 Georgetown University (DC) <br /> 23 University of Virginia* <br /> 25 Univ. of California Los Angeles* <br /> 25 University of Michigan Ann Arbor* <br /> 27 Tufts University (MA) <br /> 27 U. of North Carolina Chapel Hill* <br /> 27 Wake Forest University (NC) <br /> 30 Univ. of Southern California <br /> 31 College of William and Mary (VA)* <br /> 32 Lehigh University (PA) <br /> 32 Univ. of California San Diego* <br /> 34 Brandeis University (MA) <br /> 34 University of Rochester (NY) <br /> 34 Univ. of Wisconsin Madison* <br /> 37 Case Western Reserve Univ.

You kidding right. I saw one in the top 50; Northwestern University. And also we have many private Universities which are not public funded. <br />
I guess the question is are you kidding, since this seems to be your source as well as mine. I have to admit to being stumpted as to how you missed the U of Illinois being in Illinois. Heaven forbid I used NY as an example or try to lump New England together by geographic land mass that would be less than half the size of CA.<br /><br />This is not an indictment of the state of CA good or bad. I would recommend anyone thinking of moving there to go there and enjoy. It is a wonderful state. Just pick your location within the state carefully. If you by chance are using a different source please share it so we can all can appreciate your position. Just want to make sure we all have the facts straight and I am not painting you in an unfair light.
<br /><br /><br />As far as women, I will defer and I am sure that anyone can find a source to dispell this one. This one is from Mens Health Magazine.<br /><br />
