I work at a non-profit right now...and I talk to people on the phones. Really really poor people. And it's just so distressing everything they have to go through...and it seems impossible to get out of it. It sucks.
My sociology department t-shirt last year said, "Too bad the only people who know how to run the country are too busy studying sociology". Every time I read an article like this I think about how true it is.

And your sociology department's t-shirts are always hella awesome. I've been trying to convince EU to do that since you told me about the Durkheim ones (though I've always liked Marx/Weber, and now I kind of adore Merton...) But seriously... we should have a sociologist revolt and take over the country.

sigh.
Thanks for the comment!
