Whether they find him guilty or not, I am horrified that it had to come to this - that Michael Jackson ever had to justify himself in court. Partly this is pure selfishness: MJ has accompanied me throughout my childhood, my teenage years, my "young adulthood" (whatever you wanna call it). Each of his songs has a personal meaning for me, or a memory associated with it. Part of me is being destroyed here.
As some people have pointed out, it's not just this trial. His career is so over. That's incredibly sad, cuz it's likely that all he will be remembered for will be this. He does not deserve this. He's an amazing artist with outstanding talent; but on top of that, he has shown extraordinary humanitarian efforts- and all that's left is this!?
Here's an artist who felt he could help to make the world a better place with his talent, his art, his influence, even with his money goddamnit, and this is how they thank him? "Sweat, Freak!" says the New York Post - I can't even begin to express the hatred and anger this makes me feel. What have you ever done that you can be proud of, you fucking vermin?!? (yes I'm aware of the associations. I feel it's justified here) I even hate Moby right now for being so damn judgmental.
Hm I could say some more about this but what's the point. The frustrating thing about being an atheist is knowing these despicable fuckers will die thinking they knew it all; and they will never be proven wrong and tortured in purgatory for a few hundred years (or in hell for all eternity). *lol*
Yes... Im feeling and thinking the exact same things as you are...

PS: I also wrote about Michael last night.
