When You Handcuff Michael Jackson, You Handcuff Humanity

...that's from a placard being held up outside the courtroom.

Maybe I'm just cranky this morning, but what are people thinking??

Now, I'm not saying that we should rush to judgement without waiting for the facts to surface, but there's definitely enough smoke to warrant waiting to see if there's fire before packing the fam off to a pro-Michael rally.

We've known all along that this would be another three-ring extravaganza trial, but the details as related in the story linked below just pushed my buttons.

My favorite quote: ""You can tell he's just not that kind of guy," said 13-year-old Faith Donegan of Julian (San Diego County), who said she had been three times to Jackson's Neverland Ranch, where the alleged improprieties are to said to have taken place." Well, shucks, that's good enough for me. A young *girl* who visited Neverland had no problems... Go figure.

I promised myslef I would avoid the MJ story like the plauge, but of course it was pratically impossible to avoid yesterday. I realized things have reached a new level of insanity when I saw MJ climb on top of a black SUV and dance for the crowd to the tune of "Tom Sneddon is a cold man." Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Oliver Stone might be able to make a fascinating biopic out of all of this?

But that's kind of my point...it concerns me more that these are regular folks, not paid sign-toters. I don't get the dynamics.

I'm pretty sure they're not regular folks. This whole thing is so orchestrated. I mean, they're folks, in that they're human beings. But this is organized, these "spontaneous" crowds are just as "regular" as the Clear Channel Dixie Chicks cd steam rollerings. "Rollerings?" Anyway, you know what I mean. I doubt you'd find a sign holder who isn't tangentially connected to Michael's circles.

that sign is silly on so many different levels, but the main thing that we need to remember is that it doesn't apply as the gloved one is anything but human. i maintain that he's merely the first of a wave of alien invaders whose human suit is slowly deteriorating. oh there was a real michael once upoin a time, in a more innocent land of free love when we hardly ever heard the word addiction, a time of bathhouses and piles of smoldering bras...but he was replaced by this evil alien entity. sure laugh. you wait and see.

did they have any rollerings at roller rinks?

I'm feeling better already. I can tolerate the "I'll carry whatever placard you want cuz I need the money" motivation much better than the "he's a swell guy and I just KNOW he wouldn't do anything bad" fervor anyday of the week.
