Interesting flushing of eductaional contingencies, at best.
OBVIOUSLY, based on your logic, we ought to pardon Walker Lindh et al and give them scholarships or some such--perhaps throwing in their own national talk shows--OH, I KNOW--!!!WITH!!! BILLDO AND SHRILLERY--who obviously in this scheme of things should be immediately crowned co-kings for life!!!
I really do not understand what makes this so difficult for such a bright person. Is it some lurking hard heartedness? Puzzling.
