The Economist recently ranked Pittsburgh one of the 25 most livable cities in
the world. Today, a local
paper reported that 90% of the city's young people are unfit for the military.
Now, on the one hand, they
won't be dying in wars or subjected to the insanity of military life. But on
the other, Pittsburgh's
glaring inequality, ghastly racial disparities, poverty, obesity, youth
unemployment, violence, and bad schools
don;t bide well for the futures of these young people. See
