Hello Ross,

>RC>Acting out those fantasies is another thing entirely.

>MV>So what do you say about Michael Jackson sleeping with little boys? Is
>MV>that "acting out his his fantasies"?

RC>Yes, highly abnormal in light of the fact that he wasnt the boys father.

Michael Jackson sought to help those less fortunate than himself -
especially children.  Jackson was the father of three children, and
understood the wants and needs of children.  Not all children have
the same opportunities in life, which is why Jackson invited children
to Neverland, and for sleepovers, etc.  He wanted to give children
an experience they would appreciate and remember for the rest of
their lives.  A most honorable thing to do, in my opinion.

RC>There has to be some grain of truth that he touched some of
RC>them boys inappropriately.

Jackson was acquitted in court of law.  Unfortunately, guilt
by accusation has become the norm in this country.  That guilt
by accusation is what ruined Jackson's reputation.  The past
few years, until his untimely death, Jackson was a virtual
recluse, rarely venturing anywhere in public.

RC>Michael Jackson came upon fame real early in life which mixed
RC>with a stern father, severely abridged any semblance of a childhood
RC>so badly he didnt even know what childhood was. So he lived childhood
RC>through others in his latter years. He isnt the only celebrity to go
RC>through this phenomena, but he is one of many whom didnt handle this
RC>fact to well later on in life.

In real life, Jackson was a total screw-up, not being able to
relate to people in the real world.  As an entertainer he could
function, and do great things.  But that was a world unto itself.

RC>Dont get me wrong here, I appreciated his music and talent
RC>throughout the 1980's along with his charitable
RC>contributions etc, I fondly remember dancing to his music
RC>when I was hitting the bar scene.

He was one of a kind, of which the world will never see again.

Michael Jackson, R.I.P.
