I am happy that I have entertained people and made them happy.
I came from a wealthy family. I made over my share of the estate to various charities.

How do I get it made? How do I get it seen? How do I get it in front of the people I want to serve?
False history gets made all day, any day, the truth of the new is never on the news.
