Years ago, I had to take some social science credits to complete a degree in economics. Since I was working and carrying a full load of classes, I doubled up on assignments whenever possible.

One of my economics papers discussed a supply curve for poverty, particularly in first world societies. With slight modifications, I was able to use the same paper for both economics and sociology.

You should have heard the hissy fit which resulted when I presented the paper to the sociology class. The logic, however, was so impeccable that, once the emotional reaction died down, the class was quiet. I actually got an A on the assignment from the prof, whereas essentially the same paper scored me only an A- with the econ prof.

If you don’t have services for the homeless, you don’t have homeless. We have nothing for the homeless in our town and we generally only have one at any given time and they generally refuse to sleep indoors (mental).
