I also know he was human and did have faults and flaws like all of us do. However bottom line is we are average people, we are not in the spotlight for some of the famous people out there all the fame and fortune sadly and mostly hits them hard. I guess I am trying to say for instance when we go to a performance and see the show. We sit day and enjoy the show, but in reality we do not go throught the countless hours and hours and days and nites of all the practicing that goes on behind the scenes. Yes I know all performers and actors are paided very very well indeed, however personally with their hectic schedules ,I would never ever be able to do that. Then we all have to wonder why so many performers full prey to all these prescribed sp.. medications and illegial drugs to keep up with the demands. In the end I will miss Micheal very much and I do personally feel he did have enormous talents, saldy time was not on his side. On a personal note as far as Al Sharpton is concerned, he has been a activist forever, there are some things I feel he is correct but I also feel sometimes he is not right and goes overboard and also there are times, he should remain quiet. This honestly the death of Micheal Jackson should never be a race issue, but I feel it will. So again usnamom I agree with all you said... Peace. Catherine
