Something for MJ haters to unrecommend: "I am thoroughly repelled and ashamed for what our culture..

...has become."

Ditto that. I've been repulsed by what our media/tabloid vulture-culture has done to MJ over the years many many times. It was and IS repulsive and heartbreaking. Someone recently put it well:

The tabloids/media/vulture-culture-haters didn't ever see MJ as HE was. They say him as THEY were/are. Natch.

I don't agree with all Francesca wrote (his family DOES know where his body is and is rightfully concerned that any grave may be desecrated by haters if it's not protected/private and so is struggling with where to ultimately place it) but she is right on point with other statements she makes.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/francesca-billersafran/revolting-revelation-mich_b_244943.html

Hate on. I KNOW you will. It's part of what helped him towards his early demise, IMO and I do NOT thank you or the tabloid vultures (who are in fact still actively pecking away at his bones) for it.

Have a nice day. May karma be with you always and all ways.

2. I liked him and his music.
I don't understand any manslaughter charges against one doc when it seems to me MJ was doing drugs for years to combat his various maladies, and got drugs from many docs.

And yes, the culture we live in didn't help him at all, and seemed to have caused a lot of his problems.

12. The medication that probably caused his death was the illegal drug
Edited on Tue Jul-28-09 09:24 AM by Window
found in his body and in his home that is never used outside of operation rooms and requires an anesthetist's attention during the duration of the drug. The doctor being charged was his personal physician who lived with him, who probably administered the drug, called 911 and then disappeared for several days.

Edited to add: That is what's rumored to have happened. Coroner's report has not been released yet.

7. the pathos of his life has only been magnified in death
I hope they may find a quiet spot to bury or spread his remains if cremated. These places do exist. They should never reveal publicly where.


All lunacy, greed, and disgust that has followed MJ has said as much about the society's ills as it has about him... RIP, MJ

15. Bashir - may he burn in Hell eternal
for what he did to MJ - and NOW he admits his crass, tabloid, slanted, twisted "Living with Michael Jackson" piece of crap was crap?

NOW?

17. No argument from me
You don't have to like MJ. Just don't disrespect him.
