I tend to disagree with the notion that he just had a sad life. Yes, it was hard at first. But all the things that came later -- the plastic surgery, the questionable incidents with young boys, the general strangeness -- that was all Michael's own choosing. Guilty of molestation or not -- I tend to believe there was way too much smoke to not have had a fire -- I think Michael's life ended up the way it did because of Michael's choices. At some point, don't you have to own your choices? At 50, Michael had been making his own decisions for well over half his life.
