There's hope for our nation.  What a fabulous project.  Now focus on programs to "retrain" the homeless and high school drop-outs/gang members.  You bet I'm dreaming!! Margaret Mead said it best:  "Never believe that a FEW caring people can't change the world.  For indeed, that's all who ever have."   Now, then, where do I propose to find the "instructors"?  They are already being paid:  No more an agrarian economy, U.S. teachers can resume AS OF THIS SUMMER working a FULL YEAR, JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE "GROWN UPS" IN OUR SOCIETY.  NEVER AGAIN WILL KIDS BE SHUT OUT FROM SUMMER SCHOOL FOR "BUDGET CUTS".  TELL THE TEACHER UNIONS TO TAKE A ONE-WAY HIKE.  BRENT HUGHES, "CANDIDATE" FOR SCHOOL BOARD FOR KIDS INTERESTS -- AND THAT'S ALL !!!!!!!!!
