Nothing proves the value of anything like the profit that represents the voluntary payment of all the individuals who freely choose to buy it.

I suppose this explains why porn sales, and crack and speed and heroin sales, are so big.

bump for publicity

I am very capitalistic, but I read the Fountainhead and Howard Roark made me wanna puke. I dont think Mel Gibson is nearly so self-involved and superior. Quite the opposite.

Good post. Have you seen the movie?

[Rocko]

Is the The Passion of the Christ a great movie? That is a question to be answered elsewhere, and in time, it will be.

Here's the answer:

Yes.

GOOD JOB MEL.
Thanks for the effort.

~FREEDOM: The RIGHT to say "NO" to Communism~


...was the outstanding sign given me to hold by members of the ANN RYND Institute outside the OSCARS a couple of years ago in support of Anti-Communist Director ELIA KAZAN's Lifetime Acheivement OSCAR.

...Since then the Freedom-Loving Vietnamese-American Community has fully embraced that same sign I'm holding at their Freedom for Vietnam Rallies.

GOD does indeed seem to work His Miracles in some very Loving Ways..?

Hey, I am a Traditional Roman Catholic and I have two of Ayn Rand's book titles on my about page.

[He Rides A White Horse]

and industry experts anticipate that the international box office sales could hit $650 million by the end of its run."

....this movie was not designed to make money. This wasn't some cynical Randian calculation as to how much cash Mel could make on Jesus.

[He Rides A White Horse]

I think Mel Gibson would have produced this film even if he had thought it would be a financial turkey. I think he would have considered it a success if one person looked around and saw the true "Passion of the Christ".....this movie goes beyond dollars and cents for Mr Gibson......

[He Rides A White Horse]

Gibson is a true Hollywood hero, and saying that I don't mean in the vein of Michael Moore.

This is a true film of courage; I have no doubt that Mel put his convictions on the line knowing full well that he would be blacklisted by Hollywood leftists.

He fully knew what type of reaction he was going to get from folks that celebrate the likes of Susan Sarandon and Michael Moore, yet plunged into that darkness.

This was a labor of true love, a casting to the winds, a statement..........no wonder they have reacted as they have, Mel's film shouts revolution at the core of Hollywoods elite.

I'll go see this film again. To send a message to Hollywood.....and also to weep a few more tears and sit in stunned silence as the film closes. To go home and stay up well beyond my normal hours contemplating the lessons this film teaches.

Ayn Rand was no hero. She had a convoluted worldview which did no serve as a good basis for some of her economic ideas. Which is to say, her free market beliefs had some truth in spite of her poorly reasoned worldview, not because of it. When
