I just saw an ad for Amazon Prime that made me happy. [View all]

No talk, just light piano music. Two bearded clerics, one Muslim, one Catholic are visiting (maybe playing a game, maybe just talking). When the Muslim leaves you see each of them clicking on an Amazon Prime icon on their smart phones. Next you see packages being delivered to their homes. Each has received a gift a knee pads from the other. Useful for kneeling as shown in the closing scenes.

I know it's not changing structures, but we sure do need some communal rooting for true American values wherever we can get it.
