Saddest Comment of the Day

In response to an article I posted, which was entitled, "Student Loan Debt 'Crushing Burden'  That Harms Young Families," a young woman - Ms. G. - replied: "the grief of not having a family due to student loan debt is probably going to crush me."

I read that comment on my Blackberry on my way home from my retail job (a co-worker was ill, so I had to cover for her shift on my day off - days that are precious, because they allow me to do as much reading, writing, and advocacy work as humanly possible). In any event, Ms. G.'s remark saddens me, and it also made me think about the meaninglessness of certain customers who get irate when their size or color is not in our store.

Let's hope Ms. G. is able to hold little baby feet in her hands some day.
