Hello Neighbor - Chris Buttars



How easy was it to understand the messages of Fred Rogers, AKA Mr. Rogers, for the kids and their parents who watched his shows? It was forty years ago this week that 'Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood' made its debut on public television. Rep. Buttars says he has spent his life working with youth. Too bad he never learned anything from Mr. Rogers.

So this is for you Chris Buttars:

"As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has—or ever will have—something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression."

Remember Mr. Buttars, not everyone fits into your category of what is normal. Jesus tried to teach the Republicans of his day what a Samaritan was and who are our neighbors. Hope you and your friends can figure it out one day, both for you and the people you have hurt.
