If anything, the only controversy I see is whether or not you believe in a heaven and hell. I agree with Kevin that the real tragedy here is that the media whores are still pimping Jackson's death days later, instead of things in the world that really are important (not mention what will happen to the kids Jackson leaves behind). I'm reminded of Chevy Chase on the old SNL: "General Francisco Franco is still dead!" Well, at least I'll never have to see a loud, annoying ad with Billy Mays ever again. Thank goodness.

Settled with one, continued spending unchaperoned time with young children who weren't any relation to him and left himself open for more allegations. I tend to believe that when someone gets burned for something and can't seem to help themselves from doing it again and again, it is a sign of some sort of serious addiction/mental issue. Which is why I believe he did the things he is alleged to have done. The crime is that ratings whore news stations are putting up wall-to-wall coverage of dead celebrities and giving less time to trivial stuff like, I don't know, the Iran Election issues and the gutting of the energy and healthcare bills in Congress.

I assume the PC police will condemn it as they are very prone to doing nowadays. Sad that this is even making headlines. Even though he was never convicted of sexual assault in 2005, he did settle out of court with the victim's family, which to some is a veiled admission of wrongdoing.
