I’m not sure how it is I’ve never seen this before. I’m generally all over this kind of thing. A blogger at Piximus asked this question:

Did this letter from LEGO change the world in the 70s? There’s a good chance that it did.

Maybe it did. A powerful message and one that is relevant today, perhaps more than ever. Dramatic? Maybe. Life is dramatic. Anything wild and wonderful ever done was dramatic.
