Comments on: Michael Jackson And America’s Ethical Lapse http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2009/07/09/michael-jackson-and-americas-ethical-lapse/ Conservative and Libertarian Intellectual Philosophy and Politics Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:00:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dale Swanson http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2009/07/09/michael-jackson-and-americas-ethical-lapse/comment-page-1/#comment-78873 Dale Swanson Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:17:26 +0000 http://www.intellectualconservative.com/?p=6351#comment-78873 Good article. An approach which is seldom taken and the boldness of your presentation is admirable. Your comment on "sickness and sin". This kind of sickness as expressed in your article has its roots in Sin. First there is a sin either by infliction or by choice, then there is a drift into sickness. This kind of sickness becomes its own Master and the person becomes a slave. Thanks for the articles. More ruminating on this or cogitatiing. Good article. An approach which is seldom taken and the boldness of your presentation is admirable.

My personal opinion is that his "Peter-Pan" syndrome resulted from his inability, because of the demands of those around him, to put aside childhood. His Neverland Ranch with its zoo and other age inappropriate attractions, his purchase of surrogates to bear his children, and his proclivity for sleeping with young boys were all manifestations of this. His settling of child molestation charges in 2003 marked him as a sex offender. None of the persons that turned out in droves for his memorial ever contacted him publically after this 2003 trial. On the other hand; I believe his 2005 trial to be a set-up. The same lawyer, the same doctor, and a mother formerly convicted of welfare fraud accused the singer/songwriter of molesting a handicapped child. With the entire world to choose victims from, why this child. To me, it all smacked of an ambulance chasing lawyer looking for another easy out-of-court settlement. However; there is no argument that no one in their right mind would ever allow their children to stay unsupervised overnight at Neverland Ranch after 2003. A tragic figure indeed.
