monicawism, okay, maybe his Dad was wrong, but didn't we, his fans, contribute to MJ' s ultimate fate? We take people like Michael Jackson and place them on pedastools and we obsess over everything they do, everywhere they go, even who they're married to. The 24 hour news and the internet doesn't help either. MJ s fate is our fault His dad nay have made fun of him as a kid, but we sure as neck pushed our expectations and our image of him in his face. We do it to every well known person.
