I don't think Hoagland has fantasies, except perhaps about next year's 
skimmings from the gullible. I think he is a hard headed businessman who saw 
a market need and exploited it, the same as Walt Disney did. The only real 
difference between them is that Walt Disney's products stayed closer to 
reality.
