Seen and heard worldwide from Los Angeles ... An estimated 20,000 people were in the Staples Center as Jackson's golden, flower-draped casket was brought to the venue in a motorcade under law enforcement escort.
OK!! That’s enough. Agree?!?
I don’t know a single American that doesn’t think this whole $2.5 million memorial was anything but a massive waste of valuable time and limited resources, not only for bankrupt California, but for America in general, and at a time when we’re at dire risk of losing most everything that has made America great for 233 years.
There’s no leader, and certainly no entertainer among us whose passing would change or threaten the course of peril we find ourselves in.
Yes, Michael Jackson’s dead. I’m not glad, but I’m absolutely ambivalent. And you know what, one day without exception; every set of ears within the sound of my voice will hear the trumpets of the angels. As difficult as it is to conceive, we are all going to die. Not one among us will escape the grave that lies before us. What our reward or punishment will be in eternity isn’t up to us, or anyone that attends our memorials. Now, regardless of Michael Jackson’s morality or lack of morality, regardless of his guilt or innocence of whether he spent a good portion of his adult life behaving inappropriately with children. All that is behind us now. Can we all please move on? The business of trying to save our nation and the future for generations to come is at risk, and we’ve wasted two weeks paying tribute to a guy that danced well.
