One Dudley is RCMP, the other was the drummer for a great, otherwise all female Country/Cajun group called Evangeline.
Neither, well at least the RCMP one, can also be a dog.

In most ways, you're wealthier than many of those known as "the rich," because what you have makes you independent of the lion's share of the artificial bulls**t most people have to negotiate to "fit in" in today's society.

By US government standards you would be poor and eligible for many varied welfare and assistance programs. Unfortunately, you would also possibly be a criminal and might be subject to various fines and jail time for breaking FDA regulations, environmental regulations and tax fraud.
