Regardless of what you think of the green brigade this kid is something else.

In the words of Vader. "Impressive. Most Impressive" just without the connotations from ESB.

Reading stuff like this really pisses me off.

Quote:

His against-all-odds achievements are all the more remarkable considering he was forced to quit school aged 14 because his family could no longer afford the $80-a-year (£50) fees.

Makes me want to puch a hole in the f'in wall when I read this.

Quote:

He recalls his excitement using a computer for the first time at the event. "I had never seen the internet, it was amazing," he says. "I Googled about windmills and found so much information."

When you think about how much money it costs to build 1 aircraft carrier, or just 1 nuclear missile, or just 1 B-2 stealth bomber....... and for lack of $80 he had to drop out of school. It just makes me wonder how long will it take before we finally figure out that we are our own worst enemy.

I wish our headlines every day were nothing but stories like this one. I wish him well. I hope he becomes a world leader one day. Maybe he can explain to the rest of the world what could be done, for the price of one weapon of war.
