Sadness!

The life and death of Michael Jackson. It is so sad. Take a child and turn him into a superstar. I have a feeling this story is the final chapter in the life of an aging, tormented, disfigured, broke, junkie, pedophile who committed suicide by Doctor via Demerol. I once heard a comedian say Michael's surgeries were an attempt to turn him into his ultimate role model, Diana Ross. I also read that his psychopathology may have been molded by his father physically/emotionally abusing him and his older brothers "sinning" in his presence when he was quite young. Being a Jehovah's Witnesses cult member could not have helped. The JWs have a very special kind of hierarchical and all encompassing credo that is very inconsistent with the life of a pop star. Violent parenting, indifferent siblings, abusive church life and then to be given over to an entire planet. Criminal.
