*By James Bell Santa Monica*

Your newspaper seems to take a paticular delight in bashing homeless people on a regular basis, with many of your readers saying things like "get rid of the bums" ect. and I found myself wondering what exactly do they mean by making those types of comments...

Well, after reading an article about one of your "residents" Helen Golay, who "owns apartment buildings"...

I have a much better idea. Keep up the "progressive" work.
