&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m not insensitive to this issue and was myself molested many times (not by a family member) as a child, through my early teens and even by business associates as a young adult, on many occasions. Violently and forcibly several times.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But when someone has that much money, meaning people could claim things for monetary gain, I choose to give Michael the benefit of the doubt.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Something tells me the truth may out at some point when the children are old enough to speak out for themselves without parental encouragement. I guess that means I don&#039;t believe it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>I agree wholeheartedly with Ray Pepper on both accounts.

Having been molested by a family member, I know the effects it has and I know it affects others around me.  I too hope the truth comes out and that people realize that although Jackson was great at one time, his later years proved him to be a very disturbed and crazy individual.

Farrah Fawcett&#039;s death was a true tragedy and was over-shadowed but hopefully the good that comes out of that is that her family was able to grieve in privacy.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s already a madhouse in L.A. in preparation for the 1:00 p.m. services. I have a huge collection of Sinatra and really nothing of Michael&#039;s. My reaction surprised me, but it was genuine. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>michael jackson was obviously very talented, but he was also a product of the commercialized mtv generation; elvis presley, the beatles, sinatra, the who, were not.  thriller is a great album, but in the grand scheme of music history, it doesnt even sniff the top ten albums of all time...probably not even top twenty.  if selling an obscene amount of albums sets the criteria, nickelback can safely punch their tickets to legendary status right now.</description>

&lt;p&gt;From a genius of talent standpoint and work product, it is.  We&#039;re not talking about anyone&#039;s &quot;issues&quot;. We&#039;re talking about the level of talent. Musically speaking you don&#039;t think they are in the same category?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>please dont insult elvis presley and frank sinatra by including them in the company of michael jackson.  most celebrities have issues, but this isnt even an apples to apples comparison.</description>

		<description>Hi, y&#039;all.  I&#039;m Ardell&#039;s sister.  I was in DC when the news hit.  I made my employee and four clients sit down and spend a half hour mourning the passing of a genius.  Like Ardell, I decline to pass judgment on the lives of people so different from us that we cannot imagine their talent or their pain.  Elvis, Frank, Michael -- how can we know what world they were living in?  Mourn the passing of genius, forgive the sins, and remember that even geniuses are mere mortals.  </description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Kev,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sorry I missed your comments. The comments weren&#039;t emailing for a few days before I noticed. Surprised you didn&#039;t see that performance...it was truly amazing and the 2nd one that came to my mind.  The first, the first ever moonwalk, was being picked up everywhere else, so I chose this one. Both equally my favorites.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Oh man.  I&#039;ve never seen that vid/performance before.  Wow.  That&#039;s amazing talent.   He worked that stage.  Poor man.  Tortured.  Too bad he really couldn&#039;t enjoy his talent and celebrity and success.</description>
