I remember back those years ago when we in South Carolina were in the debate stage of incorporating a state lottery. I voted against the lottery but I had no illusions of my side winning.
As the "debate", it wasn't much of one, was unfolding I called into local talk radio, I think it was Ralph Bristol, and I suggest if we had a lottery, instead of throwing additional large sums of money into the blackhole called public education, we should consider creating a self-support program so if & when natural disasters happened we could be self-sufficient, enabling us to ignore the federal government.

I still like the idea.
