If Just Some would do this...

If just some adults would listen and do what the words to Mr. Roger's "anger song" at the end of this video, there would not be so much strife and and enmity these days...

Mister Rogers Delivers POWER Speech to Senators

What Do You Do With the Mad That You Feel? (Song)
Written by Fred Rogers | © 1968 Fred M. Rogers

What do you do with the mad that you feel
When you feel so mad you could bite?
When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong...
And nothing you do seems very right?

What do you do? Do you punch a bag?
Do you pound some clay or some dough?
Do you round up friends for a game of tag?
Or see how fast you go?

It's great to be able to stop
When you've planned a thing that's wrong,
And be able to do something else instead
And think this song:

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.

I grew up on Mr. Rogers. It was fun as a child.

I watched the whole video, and I have to tell you that I haven't felt that much spirit on this forum for a long time and is rare. What an awesome message.

I love Mister Rogers,.. and although I apologize ahead of time for any temptation this might bring to you,.. I do wish that somebody would have sung that song to Albus Dumbledore before he went off script and tried ripping Harry to shreds.
