You appear to be one of those tedious people who think entrepreneurship is the solution to everything. I doubt it's worth my time, but I'll point out that that's fine for people who have not only the economic but social capital to become entrepreneurs. Not everybody has Mommy and Daddy to pay their bills while they dream up some retarded app, nor are many people even taught that that's something that they themselves can actually do.
Hence teaching HTML classes in the ghetto, to try and help people without those resources that entrepreneurship is even possible for them.
But since that won't change anything, I suppose that only middle and upper class folks should have the ability to change the world.
Also, something to consider: if power is the only way the world works, whether we like it or not, what is human civilization for? I mean, I'm fairly sure I could kick all your fucking teeth down your throat if I wanted to...is that okay, because I have the power to do it?
Or do we not behave in such a fashion, because we understand that might makes right is a philosophy only fit for hunter-gatherers and jerk-off geek libertarian fantasists?

I sympathize with your underlying positions (at least I might—it's hard to tell when reading something this unpleasant), but can you please not use such aggressive and sarcastic language on HN? It violates both the letter and the spirit of the guidelines and, experience has shown, is one of the worst ways to degrade the quality of the site.
I know how nannyesque that sounds, and I even enjoy fine flaming wit, but not here. It's the social contract of this place and it needs respecting.
