If i'm in a loose passive game and and its folded to me in either of these positions.... do i raise with K10o, Q10o, J10o, or 109s.... or would calling be right... or should i just let them go.... how about 66-22?

Depends on what the players in the blinds do. If they call too much, just limp and take a flop.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

By loose passive I'll assume you mean that the players behind you are both less likely than the average player to fold to a steal attempt, while also being less likely to 3-bet you. If that's the case I believe your best approach might be to think in terms of value betting more than steal raising. IF you agree that that approach has some validity, the next step might be to consider such as what the best hand is, on average, for x players (here, those still to bet on a given round), then use that "average best" hand, adjusted for position, and your EV against it, as a benchmark for raising or folding. Also, while general theory suggests playing raise or fold poker from the cutoff and dealer positions, in a loose passive game just calling with modest hands from later positions is not necessarily a mistake.

As midas06 writes, it does indeed depend. All loose, passive players are not the same, and attention to an opponent's specific behavior in the blinds is essential.
