1. I remember once when I was in high school ...

a teacher asked, "Any questions."

So I asked, "Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?"

I had just finished reading Catch-22

1. Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?

A question posed by Yossarian in Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 to find out why so many people were working so hard to kill him.

This seemingly rhetorical question is what one asks when one feels that everyone else is asking stupid questions and one wants to join in and/or point out how obviously stupid their questions are. Or, merely, because one wants to find out why so many people are working so hard to kill oneself.

The priest teaching it was pretty cool and had me do a book report on Catch 22.

I'm surprised there haven't been LOTS of "Snowdens of yesteryear" allusions in GD.

3. Catch 22 was one great book. ...

I plan to reread it in the near future. I've downloaded it to my Kindle.
