Due to the economic situation and the stimulus package used to solidify our financial status, I sent this idea to the Obama website. I think if we were to send the city kids to the woods to perform work with the Forest Service and sent the country kids to the cities to perform the energy saving building upgrades, we could show the problem children that there is another world that they can be a part of and get them some money to help raise their self esteem.

Just a thought.
