I do not want to encourage shallow, not-thought-through ideas so we can fluff the ego of children. The problem is not that we're encouraging kids, the problem is that duller adults prefer simple ideas to working ones.

Exactly. Great project. The media is to blame for trying to portray this kid as some sort of brilliant revolutionary, all externalities are being tossed to the side. It's not jealousy to point out that our current inefficiency is prefe

"I specifically brought up the ability to service a loan." Again, that is not what is illegal. What is discrimination is to pick one candidate with equal background ability, and drive over another. Yes, it is wrong to use it as a

Or, the most obvious option that someone who craves attention is telling a fib to find the attention they so desperately seek. The funny thing is, I actually support Food Not Bombs. Just not the lame "crypto-anarchists" who mostly
