“We believe that homelessness is
the fault o f the government and the
system. The basic liberties and the
pursuit of happiness should be a way
o f life, not a privilege. W e decided

system or complaining about it, we'd
write about it, do something about it,”
explains Speech.
Daniel G lass comments, “Only
the most unique and talented artists
can effect change in the world with
their music. Arrested Development's
Mr. W endal' did more for the home­
