so much downvote hate these days. Quoted from the article itself: "He started selling candy in order to get out of the "hood," he says." Growing in the hood, with that kind of entrepreneurial spirit, I give him mad moral props for resorting to selling candy on the subway instead of drugs on the street.

For any of you entrepreneurial types out there, I challenge you to read 50 Cent's book "From Pieces to Weight", and tell me that if you were born in the hood, and had the same aspiring drive, you wouldn't resort to selling drugs.



Actually, a surprising portion of HN seems to approve of drugs. Selling heroin- fighting the good fight. Selling candy on the subway- criminal.
