fuck Michael Jackson...


it needs no explanation...

Seven US Armed Forces personal have died since June 25th, the same day the "King of Pop" died. Where are the headlines and the 24/7 news coverage for them? Where are the throngs, weeping in the streets at the loss of those seven Patriots? Why is the life of a drug addled, psychotic freak more important than even one of those lives?
I feel bad for his kids, however they came to be. As bad as I feel for the families of those seven service persons. Where are the fans of those seven souls? They're sitting in darkened living rooms or quiet bedrooms, or empty back yards, in North Carolina, Michigan, Texas, Illinois, suffering loss unfathomable. They will hold no lottery to see who will attend their loved ones funeral services. They will find solace in friends and family and other loved ones, not obsessed fans, or celebrities who came to be seen, or those who use the death of Michael Jackson to spread their agenda of racial hate. They will sit alone and think and remember and cry and contend with their own feelings. I hope they know I lament with them. I shall be their fan. I shall remember them, while others remember Mr. Jackson. And, long after Michael Jackson is forgotten, those lost in the service of their Country will be remembered, and much more fondly. I promise.
