I think Michael Jackson is the only thing in this nation that everyone seems to have an opinion on. He runs the full gamut of "He makes me sick!" to fanatic deification with people.
The people that think he should be thrown in jail just because he's eccentric to some and an outright freak to others are just as wrong as the people who seem to blindly worship and defend him no matter the cause. I - obviously - wasn't there at the alleged criminal incidents and so if the DA truly did not prove the case, then I am glad that he was acquitted. Apparently the kid told several different stories and the mother was a complete wacko. But I wasn't in the court room, so who knows.
I will say, however, that I truly believe in the saying "Where there's smoke there's fire".

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
