Like I said before, I'm sure someone could recomend a kid who is deserving and will put that money to use educating him/herself. Or you could send your money to a nonprofit organization where the ceo makes a billion a year and 15% of your money goes to the cause. We all know this race won't ever happen, so whats the point of this thread anyway?

What's the difference,the way they teach revisionist history in all public schools.Colleges are even worse.Ask kids today what Dec 7th means.Guaranteed you'll get a blank stare 8 or 9 time out of 10.
Have you heard what they teach NOW about Columbus's trip to America?
A basic education and some parental or otherwise adult guidance and common sense will get you a lot farther in life than a so called sheep skin in many cases.
I'm not the brightest bulb in the box,H.S. education.Got a job with Con Edison (at 27 yrs old).
I retired at 55 with a pension.Got So Sec at 62 and in April Medicare.I'm not rich but I'm doing OK.In the US thank God we have the OPPERTUNITY to go as far as we care to work for.
