Ok Snowden didn’t finish college, but why? He’s a bright enough fellow. Was it calculus or organic chemistry. His wouldn’t have been the first ship which foundered on those shores. And another question. The original piece dealt with rewards points, but the matter of transfer credits was overlooked. For instance, will Snowden be able to apply any college credits he already earned in the US to his studies in the Ecuadorian or Cuban university systems. Let’s say he took Public Speaking at a university in the states, would those credits be transferrable if he decides to pursue a degree in Havana?Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07981546907877838890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493101396674767317.post-56057539004688025242013-06-25T12:21:36.351-04:002013-06-25T12:21:36.351-04:00You point out the great deal of "Spy vs. Spy&...You point out the great deal of "Spy vs. Spy"-type chasing around over Snowden, a man whose crime is telling the American public the truth. Funny stuff, and at least it keeps them too busy to do any bigger harm.<br />Call me old-fashioned, but I consider Snowden a hero. I'm just surprised that so far the most shocking revelation reported about his personal life is that he didn't finish college. God, the guy must be squeaky clean. But wait for it... you know that if there's no real dirt to smear, our government will make some up. <br />Seriously, a society gets more of the behaviours it rewards, and less of those it punishes. When truth-tellers are punished, is it any surprise that liars and con artists flourish? <br />jylle benson-gaussnoreply@blogger.com
