Michael Jackson
I wrote my feelings about his innocense. I know what it's like to be chronologically an adult for I will be 53 next month, and have the heart of child. I worked for the Bd. of Ed. in NYC with Special children, I wrote about this, thesechildren needed alot of love which I gave them, and another teacher tried to accuse me of wrong doing. I thank my Lord that there was no findings in her false accusations and she was fired for the following year. It is sad that people can't believe in the true kindness of others. I know I can;t either. But I know there is a few pure child-like hearts that God has left around to keep others real.

The whole mess sounds pretty awful. The person I feel bad for is the victim. God only knows what sort of future he will have if he was molested by Jackson -- that crap haunts you for years, as I well know. I do have to comment that Jackson's behavior towards the boy is something that many pedophiles use to coerce their victims -- 'Grooming' is the technical term that psychiatrists use, and it involves the predator getting close to the victim, giving them gifts, and it escalates to the level of molestation. But I suspect that Jackson's career isn't going to recover from this one -- a lot of people are always going to wonder if he did it or not, and given his sleeping with young boys, well, that's inappropriate behavior for any adult.

It sounds a little ridiculous when you look at it, but this is the way we determine if someone is lying or not, whether it's a court case or someone we know personally. We believe the people we find believable. I've encountered some people in my life that would be hard pressed to convince me the world is round.
