When a person owns movie making capacity its possible to remind oneself of topics earlier discussed in how scenes are played out in all kinds of types of movies.
Anyway, yesterday I was thinking about a conversation I had with Gramps about how we are successful when we live like the Huns and Huns got very wealthy and powerful, but not when we live like Romans, as in making villas for ourselves away from "the real world" and stuff like that. Head Huns did live better off than ordinary Huns but they didn't really live in different neighborhoods or different kinds of housing, just a little better, a little larger, a little better furnished and most of the money or wealth that they gathered was spent on people and paying them to live better, be more loyal and to spend more money on people of their own. The people who live like Romans also say that they spend their money on people but they do it differently, and Huns know that the people they "own" aren't worth as much as the people that they hire or make alliances with which is something that the Romans couldn't keep straight.
Anyway, I have the money to live like a Roman for longer than people tend to live, but I also lived through the Chinese Revolution and saw that you really can't buy effective security when the people get up in arms, as they are starting to do right now and that as big of a difference as there is in normal people's lifestyles and people who think they are normal you really don't even want a four bedroom two and a half bath on a cul-de-sac right now.
