If you found out that others embellished the legend of Mr. Rodgers to reiterate a positive message to which we all subscribe, would it really matter? His testimony before congress was unbelievably heartfelt and, in my opinion, honest and forthright. I'm also positive it wasn't made up.I don't particularly care if a gorilla hugged him or not, or if thieves returned his car. I care that he cared, genuinely *cared* about people. Anything that reminds us all of that is worth, at least, a digg.

If more Christians, let alone more people were like Mr. Rogers, the world would be a much better place.

@macintoshsauceOh, I've heard plenty of bad things about him, all of them made up by malcontents who can't stand the fact that someone as honest, loving and sincere as Fred Rogers really existed. I even knew a few people who believed some of those tall tales.The man's legacy speaks for itself. I remember a few months ago, I read a fark.com forum about Fred Rogers. While the Trolls were out, they weren't out in force, and many of the regular trolls were leaving the minute number of flame baits fall by the wayside, choosing instead to post loving memories of watching Fred Rogers.I'm sure preventing a flame war on Fark.com counts as one of those posthumous miracles the Catholic Church requires for achieving sainthood.People run around with "What Would Jesus Do" signs, clothing and stickers, ignoring the fact that the answer is:"Piss off the people in power and get executed."I think someone should start a clothing line of "What would Fred Rogers Do?" attire. His example is far more applicable to our day to day life.

@centralohioguySo, it would get old to have someone friendly, considerate and helpful in the neighborhood?You'd get tired of the neighborhood kids behaving themselves out of respect for a neighbor they genuinely liked?You'd get tired of a man whose wife is, by all accounts, as friendly as he?You'd get tired of neighbors who say "hi" when you pass and are genuinely interested in hearing you talk about your own family and problems???If you have kids, you'd get tired of having a neighbor who would not only be glad to watch them so you and your spouse could go out for an evening, but could be trusted with them????What, exactly, is the down side to having a neighbor lie Fred Rogers??? I'm honestly curious and am looking to learn more about your feelings and views.

My mom actually lived right around the corner from him in Pittsburgh, PA and apparently he was not so nice a man. On Halloween, he would act like there was no one home or he would have his maid pass out candy. And kids would go up to him and ask if they could be on the show and he would be very rude to them... I liked the show, but apparently he wasn't that great a neighbor.
