Sadly, we have no idea what's in Michael Jackson's mind. One of two things: He is a pedophile, or, he is stuck in childhood, unable to move into the future reality. We'll never know, and I'm sure he'll never say. But recently, a 14 year old said Michael Jackson DID have sex with him, so he is probably a pedophile, and could also be stuck in childhood, also, who knows. Unless this kid is lying, but everyone will find out as this story plays out.
Look, he may be crazy, insane, but he has to live in reality. Things have changed in the world. With all that the Catholic Church has done, and other pedophiles, people can't hang around kids, or associate much with them and not be suspect any more. After Sept 11, life was called "the new normal." Well, that is another "new normal." If you hang around kids, in any way, someone will make the accusation. And if you go so far as to sleep in a bed with them, well...I mean, come on!
And then pedophilia is unlike any crime in the world. It's like a perpetual crime, you are born a pedophile. Once you are tagged with that label, that's it! The rest of your life is gone. Because it can't be cured, you can't go anywhere near kids, and few will want to associate with you. You have to alert the whole neighborhood of what you are, and hope no one tries to kill you. Michael Jackson obviously owns the whole neighborhood, so he wouldn't have to worry about that any time soon. He wouldn't be able to invite children over to his Neverland, but he's rich, so who cares.
The problems he THINKS people have with him aren't the problems people have with him. He has the skin condition, but if he wasn't obsessed with kids, didn't have all the plastic surgeries, gave money to charities instead of buying millions of dollars worth of crap, no one would have a problem with him. qjakal is right on the money, pun intended! People would look past his skin condition and voice in half a second if he didn't have such weird ways. I mean, everyone has medical problems. He recently complained about racism at Sony, alleging that they didn't promote his albums enough because he was black. But the allegations were a joke, and no one took them seriously. One, he's unbelievably rich, so what is he complaining about, but on to his accustion, I mean, come on Michael! People think you're a pedophile! That's why no one is buying your albums! No one wants to support a pedophile.
I think he's a sad guy who needs to get help, and to get in touch with reality. He will ever be able to come back in any way, because again, once you're tagged a pedophile, true or false, your life is over with. Maybe he'll have a second chance if he is reincarnated.....
