Sometimes there is a man that stands above everyone else as a role model for everyone. Fred Rogers was certainly that man for a long period of time. In this very important speech to the Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Fred defends the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and more importantly breaks through the heart of every person, even the self-proclaimed hard-ass John O. Pastore who headed the committee.
I wish that our current administration would heed a little to Fred’s song, What do you do?, especially the last verse:
I can stop when I want to
Can stop when I wish.
I can stop, stop, stop any time.
And what a good feeling to feel like this
And know that the feeling is really mine.
Know that there’s something deep inside
That helps us become what we can.
For a girl can be someday a woman
And a boy can be someday a man.
A few goosebumps might do them good.
