I had got a dream to begin my organization, however I didn't have got enough of cash to do it. Thank heaven my close colleague told to use the loans. So I used the short term loan and realized my dream.

“The secret of success, the secret ingredient is sincerity. Once you’ve learned to fake that, you’ve got it made.” That’s what Joe Franklin said, about 52 minutes into your documentary “His Highness Hollywood.” That’s the best piece of knowledge in your film. I whored my innate sincerity for 27 years on the Scientology “show” side of things. about 20 of those years I spent of my sincerity there in Hollywood. Joe Franklin has it right. We’re all dupes for sincerity. Hubbard used it to rope people into Scientology and he sells it back. I quit the Scientology eventually we were the ones putting the life into the Scientology show. The end of the Scientology rainbow is a big empty pot. Hubbard has people playing a game buying and selling a Bridge to Total Freedom that doesn’t exist.
Thanks for your film.

What a shame that artists are further suffering. I just learned from an editor that I can expect a slight decrease per column. Times are tough on actors. If you feel passionately about the arts buy tickets for a local show, buy a print from an artist you like, buy the book instead of borrowing it and when you eat out in NYC kindly remember your server is probably waiting for their big break when you tip them!

Merde! Blame Bush, the war in Iraq has cost the US $565,622,400 and growing. The right wants you to think that this has nothing to do with the economic woes. Of course it does- think of how healthcare, housing, the arts and many other things could have been improved with this money.
The US economy is also affecting much of the world, including my country, Canada, although we have our own bad polititians here who don’t believe in the arts (Stephen Harper, who says art is for the elite and artists just use govt money and attend fancy galas)

Anyway, when people have no money they don’t go to the theatre, and the actors don’t get paid and can’t afford to go to escorts, and the escorts can’t buy sexy clothes so the clothing store clerks can’t afford to buy fast food- see how it multiplies- it’s as exhausting as a night with Lee Majors.

Merde! Blame Bush, the war in Irag has cost the US $565,622,400 and growing- see http://www.nationalpriorities.org/costofwar_home

The Right will tell you that this has nothing to do with the economy but how crazy is that, the US economic meltdown is also affecting the rest of the world and my country Canada, one of the States biggest trading partners.
(Although we have our own bad politicians- Harper, who claims that art is for the elite and artists take grant money and just to to fancy galas)

Think of how much good this could have done if some of this money was used for health care, the arts, etc.

Anyway, spending on art is one of the first things to go during an economic turndown.

So people won’t go to the theatre and actors won’t be able to afford to go to escorts and escorts won’t be able to buy sexy clothes and clothing store clerks won’t be able to buy junk food- see how it multiplies- it’s as exhausting to think about as a night with Lee Majors.

Merde! Blame Bush, the war in Iraq has cost over $565,622,400 and growing every second, see: http://www.nationalpriorities.org/costofwar_home

Don’t let the right convince you that this is not one of the prime reasons for the economic woes the US is suffering and the impact this is having on the rest of the world.

Imagine how much good that money would have done if poured into health care, the arts etc.

The arts are always one of the first things to suffer in an economic downturn. Here in Canada, as a close trading partner with the states, we are also affected, but we have our own bad politicians and unfortunately the newly re-elected Harper is the same person who, during the campaign, said that art is for the elite and artists spend government money and go to fancy galas etc.

Anyway, if people don’t have money, they can’t afford theatre and the actors can’t afford to go to escorts and the escorts can’t afford to buy sexy clothes and the clothing store sales people can’t afford to buy junk food- see how it grows- it’s as exhausting to think about as a night with Lee Majors.

It’s very rough right now for everyone!! “World Leaders” are currently seeking to overhaul the global financial system as a result of just how many GLOBALLY are feel’in the “pinch”.

When you place all your eggs into one basket, ours, as a global human race, being MONEY, you are bound to drop, lose, crack or otherwise damage a few of those eggs along the way.

MONEY is not life and we have mistakenly, again and again, chosen money over life….this is the “price” we pay….
The only “system” that shall work to EVERYONE’s advantage is one of Resource Based, as so eloquently illustrated by Jacques Fresco.

As long as we allow money to rule us, money will destroy us.
