Bill it is not that people do not care for those who die, it is that we hear about it EVERY day. "It is blah blah blah day and so many people died in iraq yesterday." Almost every day now since 2003. I doubt these people that mourn jackson wake up every morning and say" who cares if people are dying in iraq." They dislike it as much as anyone else but the orders to come home come from the govts that sent people over there to die in the first place and I do not see any real end. I bet the russians are laughing at us right now for being in Afghanistan!
As for mj not being elvis, what is wrong with that? from what I understand, mj has a larger fanbase worldwide than elvis did.
As for him being a freak, at least he was not into scientology. THAT is a group of freaks. As for the molestation stuff, the first case was settled out of court for millions. Funny how AFTER mj dies, the boy who claimed it, comes forward and says it did not happen and that his father told him to point the finger at mj. Yes he looks like a freak but then when was the last time some of you looked at joan rivers?
Bottom line is mj had an influence on millions of people in many countries, much more than farrah did and that god awful charlies angels show!

Yes I am tired of it too but also remember, he was a HUGE contributor to charities.
Besides, I dont know about your TV's but mine does have more than 1 station AND I have not lost the remote!
