I will confess that I was shocked by the death of Michael Jackson, however, I was not saddened by this news, not like I was to the news of Farrah Fawcett dying. To best express how I feel about Michael Jackson, the man, you need to read this, this, this, and this.
I do not mourn for Michael Jackson, the man, rather I mourn for the boy that he was and the potential of what could have been. That being said, even though he obviously had many demons from a tumultuous childhood, does not excuse his behavior as an adult.
In other news, I am appalled by this. Seriously? They cannot let this family grieve over the death of their mother, sister, aunt, simply because she "might be" an illegal immigrant? As a white woman, I wish white people wouldn't act so foolishly!

What a crazy mixed up world we got here.
Thanks for raising your voice of reason and love.
Definitely seems HARDER sometimes to voice a dissenting an opinion on such issues as MJs death. I was only able to do it in such a public forum because of Cheri, Amber, and Blognut, and because of people like you, who I know are grieved for the pain those children have endured and will endure.
Much love to you!
Hi Ms-Teacher,
Your posts are so entertaining! My name is Erin, and I am a college student with mild cerebral palsy. I’m a special education major and have hopes of becoming a disability services director of a university after graduate school. I have just launched a blog that is still getting started, but with the title “Empowering People and Changing Lives,” I hope that it will provide a wealth of resources for people who care for children, specifically those who are affected by disability. I will also be chronicling some personal experiences and will be sharing some thoughts about those along the way. Your blog has also been included in my blogroll, so I hope that together, we are able to collaborate to provide resources to those who are in similar situations. The blog’s address is http://empowerpeoplechangelives.blogspot.com. From there, you will be able to read the posts I have written, find out all about me, check out my blogroll, eventually look at many resources I have gathered, and contact me.
Look forward to reading many more of your posts! Happy blogging!
Amen.
