[QUOTE="IEEEWreck, post: 33324, member: 617"] You've got it wrong. Hate isn't about hating individuals or groups. Hate is about who we are because GT was and is forced into self definition against a dominant trend. Remember that GT was founded out of the understanding, after the Civil War, that the South would have to change to meet the future. There are and always have been those who violently oppose that vision of change. UGA students already found us contemptible for who we are when they threw those first stones on a football field over a century ago. Clean, old fashioned hate for GT is the claim of our identity. We are the despised of the Good Ol' Boy, the threat to traditional, aristocratic agrarian power structures, and the way forward for Georgia, the South, and now the world. Now, the current UGA student body is no longer quite the hotbed of Klan resurgence that it once was. More often than not, our fellow Georgians at UGA share the same vision for building the future that we do. This is well and good because it is the logical result of the dominance of the vision of the state towards which generations of Yellow Jackets have worked. But we cannot give up that rivalry and remain who we are. We are not MIT, and the Northeast archetype of the engineer does not fit us. We remain still scions of the southland, and we do such things as play football and build cars and race tricycles. We stand upon a Hill built up by those who came before us, and on that ground we shall stand fast. Now what's the Good Word? [/QUOTE]
