379. 
     
380. I realise that I do not change~ the course of history. I am an actor, I do a movie, that's the end of it. You have to realise we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great, at first, not to worry about money. It was on my mind w~hen I was growing up.
382. ==============================

453. ==============================
454. 
     
455. What's weird is the Hot Boys and the whole New Orleans Cash Money thing had a really big impact on the Bay when that was popping off. I don't all the way understand it.

458. ==============================
459.

480. 
     
481. The system~ that enables the most people to earn the most success is free enterprise, by matching up people's skills,~ interests, and abilities. In contrast, redistribution simply spreads money around. Even worse, it attenuates the ability to ea~rn success by perverting economic incentives.
484. ==============================
485. 
     
486.
