An interesting post. You mentioned Fred Rogers' wealth and I hate to admit it but when I learned he came from money (only quite recently) I was disappointed. Mister Rogers was always accessible to me and the knowledge of his wealth seemed to cause a separation. You are correct that people whose family have wealth always carry that cloud over them, that they can't truly relate to the rest of us, whether that is correct or not. My wife mentioned once (sarcastically I'm afraid) no wonder he's so nice, he can afford to be. I like to think now that the money allowe him to be the best person he could be without the shackles of striving so much just to survive this world. Maybe I'm overstating that but I hope you get my point.
As for this new book, I'm a little concerned about the author and him having an "agenda." Again, we'll see.
