    Mr. Fred Rogers. Call him corny, but there were few humans capable of such kindness. I hope there will be more. *sniff*

    Mother Teresa. She held me in her arms when i was a baby ( Im from Calcutta) She never acted like she was famous one bit. Everyone saw her walking around the streets helping people all the time. :brokenheart: We need more people like her.

    Diana Wynne Jones. I didn't find her books until a few years after she died and was crushed when I went to look up any up coming releases.

    Lucille Ball.

    I grew up absolutely adoring her, watching everything she'd ever made long after she'd made them. When I was about 8, I found out (through a rag mag) that she and Desi Arnaz were dead. Mind you, she had already been dead for a few years, but I'd always thought she was young, just like in the shows I watched. It was kind of one of those "you're mortal" moments where I realized people get old and die and leave their legacy behind.

    I also found out Desi was a wife- beater and an alcohol from that magazine. And that Michael Jackson had married Lisa Marie Presley. Weird day.

    I grieved a bit over Elvis's and Buddy Holly's deaths long after the fact, as well. I was a weird kid :)

    Mother Teresa was a fraud. She was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction .As a result, she publicly supported policies that led directly to greater suffering among the people she had pledged to help, discouraging the use of prophylactics that could have prevented unwanted pregnancies and slowed the spread of AIDS and other STDs.

    Mother Teresa’s Homes of the Dying served only to warehouse the sick in unsanitary conditions until they were too weak to protest against baptism into the Catholic faith. Lets not even get into the atrocities at her homes for the dying. The last thing we need isore people that think suffering is a good thing.
