“DESPITE DAVID PISARRA’S COZY LITTLE column about the empowered homeless population, I would make a movie exposing the evils of this sceney way of life and the awfully negative impact on society. All the bums, drug addicts and alcoholics, perverts and freeloaders flock to this way of life to avoid the responsibility of living like a decent, law-abiding citizen. They give nothing and take everything, and we the citizens have to support that and live with the filth they generate.”
