"NEVER FEAR" Mr. Rogers taught those who listened..(and must have been a minority of our WALL STREET CROWD) that "if you do good it will come back to you...and if you hold your ground..the good will come."

That message was heard by MANY...but the rest were Watching Cartoons (as they were called in those days) or, as the grew up.."Animal House" (which was an excellent movie) ...but John Hughes Movies had more of the HUMANITY.

It ain't about Repugs and Dems... It's about Mr. Rogers vs. Animal House Mentality.

And...believe me I understand that there are those here who come from BOTH SIDES...so it' isn't just about REPUGS vs. DEMS.

It's about PHILOSOPHY of LIFE...and how it can be PRACTICES for either GOOD or INDIVIDUALISTIC view as your PATH in Life...
