Wow. I am moved on so many levels. I remember my mom talking about Judy Garland and other child stars. On a lighter note, we adopted a Terrier last fall. I am a vintage shoe-girl. My terrier was busted chewing my red shoe. Good thing she's cute...

Dorothy would have made an excellent investment advisor; her assessment of potential risks to Scarecrow venturing out was second to none: “I cannot tell,” she returned, “but you may come with me, if you like. If Oz will not give you any brains you will be no worse off than you are now.” Absolutely no bias, one way or another.

I've had this movie come up quite a few times with people always referencing the man behind the curtain. My thing is its pretty clear the man behind the curtain in the real world wouldn't be such a good sport about it. I don't expect the likes of Gates, or Fauci, to concede he's been found out, and reward those that reveal his scam and help them achieve their goals to boot.
