Today Michael Jackson will get some kind of send off at the Staple Center in LA. The masses are gathering and the celebrities will be well represented. I am sure it will be quite a show. But for what purpose?
Some folks will be making a lot of money off the troubled musician's death, which makes them what? His family, those who supposedly cared for him, are already working out deals. Joe Jackson, who I have no respect for, is still trying to cash in on the cash cow he created forty years ago.
I give credit to Liz Taylor who stated she would be remembering & saying goodbye to Michael in private. That's what the world should do. Let his family & kids have the private time they deserve to say farewell. If you are a fan, play some of his CD'S, have a couple of drinks and get on with your life.
The truth is none of us knew or will ever know the real Michael Jackson. He will always be a man of mystery. Great for speculation & TV pundits, but a man who deserves, like all of us, the chance to rest in peace.
Enjoy his videos, enjoy his music and let him go.
Its Common Sense!

Puppy in the White House
I read that the Obama girls finally got their puppy, a six month old Portuguese water dog, a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy. It will be interesting to see if animal activists attack the Obama family the same way they did the Biden family when they went to a breeder to get their new German Shepherd puppy, rather than go to a rescue.
Evidently, the activists verbally attacked the Bidens and the breeder, forcing the breeder to go into hiding because of threats of violence.
Where are peoples priorities? I know there are a lot of animals in shelters because of the irresponsibility of the people who originally took them or breed them and then decided it was more than they could handle. However, if someone wants a pet, be it a dog, cat, horse, cow, hamster or whatever, its their right to get the one they want from the source they want.
What I don't understand is why these animal activists aren't more concerned about the abused and abandoned children in this country. Children in orphanages, children forced to live with abusive parents, drug addicts and alcoholics. Couldn't they put their efforts into updating the human adoption system in this country, rather than get stressed over the animal adoption policy?
Why isn't there an outcry about Americans adopting foreign children - thank you Madonna and Angelina Jolie - rather than helping those here at home, many in situations just as bad, if not worst than those overseas? What is the problem with the adoption policy in this country that we can't take care of our own?
I'm all for animal rights, but human rights should be our priority. Let's get the abandoned and abused children housed and protected, then we can put our efforts into saving the animals.
