...I did a little research on my own just now - on the profiles of all of us who has replied to this thread. Hope you don't mind! I guess it's alright to "pry" if info on the year of birth is stated! I was wondering whether there would be a difference between generations on the view on MJ...? I was wondering if it would make any difference if you had actually watched MJ on TV at the time when he was just a cute little kid with a lot of spunk and a great voice already at the age of 5?

Well, I couldn't make out any difference - but still,on a larger scale it may mean something, I think. I know it probably meant a lot to me. I didn't want him to be guilty. It would have saddened me so. I wanted - and still want that little boy to be alright. I guess you could say that I really wanted to believe that this little black kid would make it even if he came out of moderate circumstances. I guess you could say that I needed to believe in the "american dream" - that this could be possible.
It would have been so great!

Anyway, I too sincerely hope, that he has learned from this. It's great if he states that he shall no longer let boys sleep in his bed. To me, that just doesn't cut it - I think that he should see to it that he is never alone with a boy again. Visits should be supervised in some way.

I hope he hasn't lost his marbles completely over this whole affair. But just in case.... I went and bought all the albums I could lay my hands on this afternoon. I got them at a very much reduced price... hm! I wonder why...!!

Love,
Sus and Bella
