He acts childish enough at times, Mike. Since Michael Jackson thinks of
himself as a kid, perhaps N8WWM can also convince Michael Jackson that he's
a kid too. I'll certainly vouch for you, N8WWM. ;-)

Im not childish I just like michaels music. Why cant we just leave his
personal
life out of this? He's innocent until proven guilty just like i am. The rain
report claimed I jammed repeaters but they didn't prove it.

Mike:

I'll attempt to explain. As a public figure, Mr. Jackson has the ability to
influence people on the basis of his personal behavior. His actions cannot
be separated from his music simply for the convenience of his audience.
A lot of young, impressionable people view him as an idol or a role model.
When his personal behavior turns out to show him to be a man of
highly suspect morality (if not sanity), then his influence immediately
turns negative -- or at least, it should. Like all public figures, Mr. Jackson
will have supporters and detractors. Personally, I find little about his
personal life which would incline me toward considering him to be anything
but a hedonistic, emotionally-incompetent, and potentially dangerous
person, who should never be given access to anyone's children.

Yes, at one time, I liked his music, and I do not deny his talent as an
entertainer. However, that is not enough. He now resides in the garbage
disposal of my esteem, along with the Dixie Chicks.
