Sinister: today's headlines, it's a sad day in the neighborhood

[caleb ben moore]

i woke up this morning and learned that Mr.
Rogers has died.  he died in his home last night.
 mr. mcfeeley announced it this morning.

 mr. rogers is just one of those people who you
take for granted, assuming they will always be
around.  a person who's sole goal in life was to
make people feel better about themselves and the
world around them. he touched me and so many
other people, helping us to be nicer, to not be
scared, to smile and be ourselves.

the headlines this morning speak of nuclear arms,
impending war, growing alcoholism among youths,
and the death of Mr. Rogers.  it's a very very
sad day.  but i know that his sentiments and
songs and ideas will live on in all of us.  the
neighborhood of make-believe will live on.

                               .caleb ben

p.s.  please hug someone today and tell them that
you love them.
