Fred Rogers was an incredible piece of work-My own disgust/boredom with broadcast media would subside some what while tuning-in to his show-He had boldness and confidence to accompany his disengaging calm that stimulated neurotransmitters like uncut drugs or pheromones-

Oh, had a major kid-crush on Lady Aberlin....

One man I wish I could have met.

I wish they played him on Australian TV, now

As a non-american, I never had the pleasure of watching his show as a kid (or as an adult to be honest), but everything I read or watch about him, just makes me feel real nice he once existed.
He seemed to be what you would expect a saint to be (minus the miracles of course). And this coming from an atheist.

That's probably as true as you can get. I remember the show when I was younger, and to be honest I was kind of retarded when I was little so I didn't get much out of it. But I'm sure kids who were actually intelligent at that age could very well understand that he was about love, peace, kindness and honesty.
