I understand what you mean Xeon and I agree.

I think Mickael Jackson probably did many things that were not appropriate, both to himself and to some of the people he knew (including those kids who were visiting him on his ranch).

But in my opinion, more than our arbitrary set of values, it is a person's knowledge, intelligence, family background and even mental health, that should be used as a real reference to determine how "good" or "bad" he or she was...and we are not born equal in regard to those différent aspects of life, it's a fact.

Some types of behavior can certainly be considered reprehensible and harmful from an objective point of view, but wether we like it or not, there are many cases where certain people hardly had any choice and simply became what life allowed them to become. Yes, we all have freewill, but for some unfortunate people, even freewill has its limits. Was it the case for Jackson ? I can't be sure, obviously. But I feel that sometimes, it's life itself that's guilty.
