So how can you make statements about it? I go here and live here...

Actually, the vet school, alogn with the college of agriculture and life sciences, the school of industrial labour relations, and the school of human ecology are all land grant and STATE schools. If you look up lists of college rankings you will see that Cornell Private and Cornell State are listed seperately...

The first being the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences ( I could be wrong because I don't know where this is nor have ever heard of it), I heard this on a trivia game at a bar.

What does age have to do with anything?

I'm 19 what research do you think I've done?

Look up ISER- the international symposium on equine reproduction. He helps plan them and even ran the 7th one. That would be the biggest one. Recently he was lecturing in both the Netherlands, and a little before that France. He has a few ground breaking theses on repro in various species. I would tell you to look him up but I'm not giving out his name.

Thats funny, my dad grew up in rural Namibia (in Africa) 40 km from the nearest other family. He was invited to teach and research at Cornell, but after 8 years quit because he hated it. He now teaches at Missouri State while doing research on Angus breeding. (others can back me up on this, as they know I went to visit him over the summer)

Publicly traded companies yes- but where does their funding come from? Lockheed Martin's latest two jets- the F22 Raptor and F35 JSF were both funded by DARPA. As was almost all military research. Who do you think buys weapons? Sure Joe Sixpack buys a bolt action .303 now and then, but the US Army buys how many thousands of M16's from Colt?
