and yes, that is my opinion, and nothing more. Just like everyone else, no one should take mhat I say as gospel, though I would like to think someone was willing to take what I say and contemplate it without pre-judging it.

Earlier this week, here in Worcester, a 7 year old child was beaten to death by his father. I could only think of all the horrible things that child had been subjected to, and I wish the strongest and most painful death for that man who was SO big that he couldn't pick on someone his own sizs.

And now, a man who had money to burn, who molested children and paid off their families to keep himself out of jail has died. Do I feel anyrhing charitable for him? Absolutely, positively, no fucking way.

I don't believe in false piety, nor do I believe I should somehow respect him now, just because he doesn't happen to be breathing anymore. He is still the man he was when he paid off one of his victims with 11 million dollars. He is still the man who owned a home where there were secret rooms in the house, all the more to molest children. Does anyone except me forget that he fled the USA because the cops were onto him?

Death is just another facet of who we are on planet earth--if we have been decent people, we will live on in the memories of others. If we haven't been decent, the memory of our wasted lives will finally put to end all the horror that we perpetrated here. Whether there is an afterlife or not, it's the memory that is immortal, and those who are still around after one's death are the ones who keep the deceased alive.

But Michael Jackson was a seriously disturbed man who had a thing for young boys, and in the eyes of the law of the USA, and in the minds of most people in the world, he was a pedophile who got away with his crimes. No, no sympathy from me for a man who used money to keep people quiet about his deranged choices, and who ultimately was able to keep his habit alive with the money he had.

Rest in disturbance, MJ--you deserve it.
