Mr. Rogers

Coming across this video through the randomness of the internet, I've come to a conclusion: This man, Mr. Rogers, was memorable through many a childhood television experience, in that we all wanted to have our own toy kingdom with its own moving tram system in our basement, or the way that the clown puppet invariably scared the shit out of us every time we later closed our eyes for our afternoon nap. Yet for all of this, the fact remains; in spite of every dirty joke or humorous misintepretation we had at his expense, he had a truly pure heart. It may seem eccentric in the tumultuous times, but none the less, the man had a good thing going.
Furthermore, as you can tell from this video, he probably had the most money granted to him in U.S. Congress in relation to the complete absence of hot-headed arguments and deliberate deciet. Maybe things would be better in these crazy economic times if companies said please when asking for money, rather than going with the "if you don't, it will only get worse" approach. With the manners of Mr. Rogers under their collective belts in the U.S., it might well be a more beautiful day in all our neighbourhoods.
