I must start out saying I am going to get a lot of shit for this post. If you are a uber fan of Michael Jackson I would highly advise not reading the rest of this post.

I am apalled by humanity today. Over the past decade I had started to discover a theory about how humanity is becoming weak. If anything the reaction to Michael Jackson’s death has helped to prove my theory true. People are shocked about Jackson’s death. To that, I can agree the man was only fifty years old, but the shock is not what I am getting at. People are actually extremely upset that he has passed away. Now I could understand if this man was Ghandi, Mother Theresa, or a person who was a genuinly good person but we are talking about Michael Jackson a man who slept with little children. He was a pedophile. There were multiple allegations of him sleeping with kids. Because of that, I can not understand why people are crying and even more so outlashing at Jackson’s critics.  Did people cry when the news of Hitler died? How about Saddam Huessein? Ok, so their families and friends might have and I suppose they have the right to. But did the general public? No. And I know what those are going to say, that that comparison is not fair, Jackson was not a person who committed genocide nor was he a dictator. Fair enough. Well lets look at Blair Evans. Who is Blair Evans? Well he is a pedophile but he did not create any music. Do you think anyone outside of his family and friends would cry because he died? NO! They would not even care. But Michael Jackson created music, and for some reason that is supposed to give him a pass. Some have asked well what if Kobe Bryant were to die? That would be horrible BUT it wouldn’t make him any less of an adulterer. Humanity has become weak. I think I will go create a piece of music and sell it to 50,000 people so that way I can get away with stealing a penny from the penny jar, because if I create music apparently it lets you do anything you want. I do not wish death on people like Jackson, that is cruel, but excuse me if I don’t understand how people are extremely upset. Excuse me if I don’t feel sad to the point where I cry because I do not care that the world has lost a person who gets his jollies from sleeping with little kids. I am sorry if I am a monster for not feeling sympathy, but I think you are the monster for feeling sorrow for a man who died that the world is probably a better place for him being gone.

With that said, I do feel sorry for the Jackson family and his friends. They would feel a loss and that is a horrible thing. My sympathy does go out to them.

You should accept that a person can be a good musician AND a sicko. People are mourning the former, not the latter.

Long time no talk Shane, you ever going to post pics from your trip?

Hey Jeff,

I posted my pics on facebook. Take a look!

As for the Jackson comment, most people are dismissing the latter and to me that is quite disturbing.
