Walt Disney and his 1928 cartoon creation "Mickey Mouse" (Nat'l Board of Review Magazine)

Haha, I started as a way for Walt to make money

(Old Money Dynasty) The dark story of how Walt Disney went from bankrupt to a $200 billion dollar empire taken from the Disney family and run by a mega-corporate conglomerate.

"Mickey Mouse" is a 1928 cartoon character co-created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. The longtime corporate icon and mascot of the Walt Disney Company [now mega-conglomerate transnational Disney Corporation] and a figurehead of American animation, cute Mickey is an anthropomorphic mouse or rat.

I was doing good till I tried hard drugs.

Walter Elias Disney (Dec 5, 1901–Dec. 15, 1966) was an American animator, film producer, voice actor, and entrepreneur. A pioneer of the U.S. animation industry, he introduced several developments in the production of cartoons.

As a film producer, Walt holds the record for most Academy Awards won (22) and nominations (59) by an individual. He was presented with two Golden Globe Special Achievement Awards and an Emmy Award, among other honors. Several of his films are included in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress and have also been named as some of the greatest films ever by the American Film Institute.

How about them Jews, Wernher?

It is said Disney hated Jews (but was maybe just "a product of his time") and seems to have been partial to some Nazis, such as Project Paperclip Dr. Wernher von Braun.

• Who was All-American Nazi Wally Brown? Wernher von Braun escaped justice for his participation in Nazi atrocities and war crimes due to the USA's desire to beat the Soviet Union in the Cold War [9, 10, 11] competition to get to the moon. Leaving his Nazi and Hitlerian patriarchy ideals aside, he is described as the "Father of space travel" [12], the "Father of rocket science" [13], and the "Father of the American lunar program" [9] in successful PR campaigns to reform his and America's image for hiring him and ignoring his war crimes developing weapons of mass destruction used by Nazis and Hitler's Third Reich. At the end, he advocated a human trip to Mars like Elon Musk.

I sent a lot of good men to the USA

Born in Chicago in 1901 and raised largely in Missouri, Walt Disney developed an early interest in drawing. He took art classes as a boy and took a job as a commercial illustrator at the age of 18. He moved to California in the early 1920s and set up the Disney Brothers Studio (now the Walt Disney Company) with his brother Roy. With Ub Iwerks, he developed the character Mickey Mouse in 1928, his first highly popular success; he also provided the voice for his creation in the early years. More

• Operation Paperclip was a secret U.S. intel program that moved more than 1,600 Nazi scientists, engineers, and technicians from Nazi Germany to the genocidal USA between 1945 and 1959 for U.S. government work after WW II. Many of them were confirmed to be members of Hitler's Nazi Party, including the ruthless SS and Hitler's Stormtroopers.

About 1/16th the number of Nazis hired by the USA to plan new war crimes for America.

Gwen, you and No Doubt are from OC with Disneyland. Why'd you call it Tragic Kingdom?

Mouse problem? Sometimes it seems like Mickey Mouse grew up and turned into a bad rat

What does it mean to be happy?

Ashley Wells, Wisdom Quarterly

What is happiness (sukha), and is it limited to humans? It is contentment, appreciation, and joy in spite of one's circumstances. If it depends on circumstances, it will soon change according to the Mark of Existence anicca (flux, transience, impermanence).

Buddhism aims at happiness and greater happiness. But because it frames it as "ending suffering" or the cessation of disappointment, it is cast as negative. The framing is a function of Pali and Sanskrit because the Buddha was often speaking of expansive categories. What falls into the definition of "suffering"?

Happiness and unhappiness affect all living beings, and there is no need for anthropomorphizing to find it.

Crying, sadness, dejection, disappointment, distress, worry, pain, illness, aging, death... all come under the single term asukha, nonhappiness. It is called dukkha, things being "not quite right," "off-center," "off-kilter." The Four Noble Truths begin this way, but also include the greatest happiness, nirvana, and the path to nirvana.

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, Douglas Adams observes that most independent observers agree that dolphins are the smartest and happiest beings on the planet. Their brains are bigger and their lives, apparently, are easier. After all, what do they do but muck about in the water all day playing, eating, and socializing, while humans slave away in cities, choking on smog, polluting the planet, chasing paper, making war, and being utterly miserable?

Poverty = Happiness

• Does a flashier car make a man look sexier? (GM America)

Questioning the Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of the Government of Tibet in exile, on the subject of poverty and happiness.

• Why do the poorest people on earth tend to be the happiest?
• Why are we as Americans so terrified of not being "rich"?
• Could it be the way we're marketed to?
• Have we equated power and control with bliss?

Marketing, what marketing? It's even embedded in the News (the Info-tainment): The ridiculous question, Does a flashier car make a man look sexier? is full of subtext: "If you buy more expensive consumer products, then you can have love." And love may just get you happiness.
