Out walking Lilith, I ran into a realtor picking up her Caldwell Banker sign at the corner. I said everything's selling like hotcakes but I don't know how anyone affords it. She said "military." I said, no wonder there are so many homeless people. She said, "oh, they're all mentally ill." Then, continuing to talk about the extremely high prices, she said, "thank you, Jesus!"
Heartbreaking that humanities majors who so much want to change the world for the better often cannot lead careers as stable and as lucrative as those in the military.
