Yeah, I was pretty put off by the whole "make it so that a kid can get a $200 card every once in a while" comment. Um...yeah....you mean like a scratch ticket? Sending this messege to kids is absurd. I suppose it's telling of a larger societal problem teaching kids that something's not worth doing unless there's a (potential) payoff.
We live in a "if i do [blank], then I get [blank] society".
