A good friend of mine directed me to this video of Fred Rogers testifying before the Senate in 1969. I was so touched by it, I had to share it with you.

Whether or not you support government endowments for the arts and humanities, I think this video serves as a much needed break from our modern cynicism. I urge you to watch it to the end. You'll be glad you did.
