... two are "failed" Hollywood actors who have some screen credits but got tired of living in poverty between jobs. (Maybe three failed actors if you count me.

For every live-and-let-live naked gay guy on the streets of San Francisco there's several thousand bat-shit crazy right wing religious freak step-daughter molesters, Cliven Bundy racist millionaire commons destroying thieves, and corrupt diaper soiling chicken hawk military-industrial-complex fellators.

Not to mention Nixon or Reagan...
