Our World and It's Values are Crazy
Is anyone else sick sick sick of hearing about Michael Jackson? OK< He was a fabulous entertainer, he died of drug over doses, he lived in opulent luxury spending over a half a billion dollars in six months on things he wanted and his family wants his money and his EX wants his money and his chef wants to tell what he knows and there will be a billion people watching the funeral. There have been over 2 and 1/2 million downloads for his songs this week- like you won't be able to get his music ten years from now and on top of all of this, Neverland may become the new Graceland. Now I see on tv that some woman says that Michael Jackson's head showed up on the trunk of her tree the day that he died and it sort of looks like Jesus too and she says "they are basically the same, they are both important icons."OK, what is wrong with our world anyhow??? Is this what the media has done to people's brains? No Doctor, No soldier giving his life, no nurse, no humanitarian nor any charity worker would ever get this kind of attention (and most of these people made NO money doing what is right and there is something wrong with this whole thing - I don't get this victim mentality that our media portrays for someone so gifted and who had so much and so much more potential. I am praying that God watches out over his children but what hope do they have being hounded by the media too? -Mary Lou

MaryLou, I'm thinkin what your thinkin. There are a lot of other things happening in this world that I would rather see and hear about. We need some quilt news on tv.
Mary Lou, I'm sick, sick, sick, of it.. thanks for asking. :)
Right on MaryLou - I am on MJ overload - hope it will be over soon and praying that those kids can have some kind of a normal life now
A great BIG AMEN...well said.
Oh, my, how I agree. I'm very relieved the memorial is over...tho I imagine many more TV specials ahead .. meanwhile... how about that war in Afghanistan? Iraq? State budgets? People out of work? Soldiers that lost their lives this past week? - or has it been a hundred days? Let's keep a good thought for his kids tho.
Too cute Mary Lou.
Thank you! Not one person I know can take one more minute of the hoopla. They are so many more important things that the media needs to be covering!
I too am so sick of it all. Someone on the tv called him a hero! I DON'T THINK SO! Certainly there are others in this world that have done more for society.Imagine what it cost LA to put this on - is his estate paying for it? Hummmmmm. I'll be glad when it's done, may be then there will be something else to look at on the TV.
You very graciously left out the pedophilia.
We watch CBS news with Katie Couric, and every Friday they have a story about someone involved in a positive action. Sometimes we just laugh, but sometimes we cry because everyday people are the ones who make the world go around. MJ is now a sad story.
