Harold


"I think the thing that made me feel best was when we sort of got the stamp of approval from Psychologists and Educators in America, who felt that Ghostbusters was a GOOD THING for Kids to PLAY -- they found that this was Certified and Documented in a major article in The Chicago Tribune.

Teachers said that they liked kids playing Ghostbusters because it was NON-COMPETITIVE, there were NO "Good Guys" and "Bad Guys", it wasn't  a War Game, it wasn't Cowboys against Indians or Americans against Russians, it was PEOPLE, TOGETHER, against The Unknown.

Also, for little children, it seems to have a -- it gives them CONFIDENCE, right at the age when they're most afraid to The Supernatural, which is apparently from 5 to 7 -- along comes the cartoon show, and kids identifying with The Ghostbusters, feeling they can actually DEFEND THEMSELVES against The Supernatural, so --

I guess a lot of kids wrap themselves in their Ghostbuster toys and costumes at night, and go to sleep, and sleep WELL -- "
