I would like to thank Kenneth McCrae for his response to my opinion letter which appeared in the July 13, 2002, Santa Monica Daily Press. For him to imply that I have never had to face homelessness is as much of an assumption on his part, as my assuming that some of those who stand in line for the free handouts have the ability to be gainfully employed.

His statement that "You keep harping on the fact that Santa Monica's homeless citizens have access to 21 meals a week" is fallacious. No where in my letter did I make any reference to the number of meals supplied to the homeless, nor did I "harp" on the same. He is right, the satire eludes me, and, furthermore, judging by the content of his letter, I wonder what else he is consuming other than three meals-a-day supplied to him.
