Remember, Mr. Rogers' original comment was intended for CHILDREN. Children need comfort, and their power is obviously very limited.
We're adults. We do need comfort, but we also need to take action. And what you'll find is the more you do, the better you'll feel. Look for the helpers and join them.

I really don't think it's a good thing that you can casually browse a website you've never been on before for 30 seconds and suddenly they can email you like HEY ARE YOU SURE YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BUY SOMETHING. I'm bravely saying that should not be able to happen.
