Ya know those are good points. I just wish there was some way to remember who the real man, Walt Disney, was and how much his desires and good will have been perverted. He was a member of a metaphysical organisation which I belong to and had nothing but the best and most positive of intentions when he started out; which can be born out in the songs, esp. When You Wish Upon A Star, and early movies and their messages of hope, self-love, self-reliance, belief in a higher power, etc.

Sorry, I am not railing against your posting, just the fact that the man has been lost in the blur of the empire of commerce. If I didn't know that he probably believed in reincarnation, I'd say he's probably turning ove rin his grave right now.

Also, I think I am losing my mind. I was sure I had posted the following, too, but I cannot find it in any of my postings. This was a quote by David Lowenthal, professor emeritus at Boston College. he claims Hollywood is turning out too much sex and violence and was quoted in my mentor's article, as having written, "Government, and government alone, has a chance of blocking this descent into decadence. The choice is clear, either a rigorous censorship of the mass media(my emphasis)-- or an accelerating descent into barbarism and the destruction, sooner or later, of free society itself."

(I KNOW i typed that in somewhere...perhaps another thread, oh, gawd, is the mind the first thing to go???!!Arrgghhhh!)
