cahutchins comments on TIL Mr. Rogers told the U.S. Supreme Court during the attempt to ban VCRs that he sided with the VCR, as it helped families to watch his show together. Supreme Court said his testimony was a contributing factor which allowed VCRs: "He might say that the internet is a wonderful tool for learning and for communicating, but it can also be used to try to hurt other people. Many people in our world today feel alone, or feel that they don't get enough of the positive attention from others that makes us feel loved and valued. And it can be very tempting, when you feel alone and unloved, to do and say things that are rude or shocking in order to get attention. We should always try our best to behave in a way that lets the people around us know that we value them just the way they are. Maybe you can be the person that helps another person not feel so lonely and unloved.
