Reply #35: Up With People Alumnus here [View All]

[alwynsw]

The entire idea was to promote brotherhood and understanding among all people. The opening theme says it all:

"Up,up, with people
You mett 'em wherever you go.

Up, up with people,
They're the bes king of folks we know.

If more people,
Were for people,
All people everywhere,

There'd be a lot less people
To worry about
And a lot mor people to care."

Odd that I remember it after more than 30 years.

It was a good message then. It's a good message now. The group crossed nearly all social, economic, regligious, racial, gender, political, and whatever other lines you can think of.

I really don't understand the freeper labeling. I honestly have not kept up with the program as it exists now.

Edited to add: Now that I've read all the posts I've had a couple of chuckles and have seen a few that make me want to lash out. Guess I'm just too "perky" to lash.
