Well we won't know if we don't try. Maybe it is a really stupid idea. But we'll never know because no one is doing a blessed thing. I don't presume to have all the answers, but I have had a professional record of some pretty good ideas. This may or maynot be one. Out of 250 million people, even if only 10% are poverty line, that is 25 million people to draw from. Okay, what politician has even taken a real stab at doing something from any party? Not a single one that I know of. This is a marketing challenge - so let's get Coca Cola to do it. They can get people to pay $3 a sixer for sugar water. BTW, "youth-at-risk" doesn't mean "thug": it means someone who simply doesn't have the resources to pull it off by themselves. Even if it is only 1% of the 25 million people, that is 250,000 people that could benefit in a real way. I'm talking from experience - I met people (like me) who went into the military for these kind of reasons. I'm just suggesting that our own people are just as important as the target drone squadron I worked on. There was not a high efficiency in that unit. However, I got an opportunity to get some skills and part of my income earning power now came from that investment by the community. I would have preferred it wasn't for the war effort (there was no war!). I'm sure I'm not the only one that would have paid off well.
