Not a damn one of them with enough drive or intelligence to make something of themselves with their own sweat and hard work.

edit to say: tried education and it's tough working within establish structure. I never felt that I was free to help the kids that really needed it. A farm with kids would be ideal...

Yeah, a farm full of kids with nobody watching....

No DUmmy would or could put in the amount of work demanded of a farmer.
But of course, this is a democrat DUmmy, so he's talking about a hydroponic marijuana operation.

3. I put environment, but education is a biggie too...
In fact, we need RE-Education...how to grow food in urban gardens, how to make things from scratch, how to help one another. C
So in essence, I would go into developing Cooperative Community plans that integrate many of our social needs...

how's THAT!?

(ps, actually, it IS what I am deciding to do with my business model ...working on some new angles, I'll let you guys know how it unfolds)

Throw 'em in "teh Camps"!!!11!

did you see that story from California? A guy accidently hurt his hand while building a bomb, at a licensed day care which doubled as an illegal pot farm.

Ah crap. I didn't get a MegaMillions ticket. It might have been THE night too. The jackpot is like $170M, after taxes and lump sum thats about $277 and change. I would definitely splurge.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong... but if money were no longer an issue, wouldn't his dream of helping "economically disadvantaged students" be a non-issue, because there would be no "economically disadvantaged" people...?

That has already happened. They got their money from Obama's stash.
