RIP in 2009

DP, I don't necessarily want to get into it with you, because you're obviously a bit touchy about it ... and someone you cared for and admired just died, so that's perfectly cool.

But need I remind you OJ was never convicted of a thing. The justice system is not so perfect that we need rely on it completely. I guess people in California really DO have the right to take away my civil rights, huh? The Court says so.

I hope you'll at least grant dispensation to Jazzman, whose own grandmother relayed to him testimony she heard as a juror in court. Conviction not necessary for her particular convictions.

I know it's in poor taste to speak ill of the dead, and I don't want to belabor this point. But in MJ's case, his "legacy" is indeed mixed ... and every news outlet in the world concurs. I don't think we must shy away from that on the LoT.

I'll certainly grant talent often travels side-by-side with eccentricity. But Michael inspired quite a debate over his character while he was alive, and I don't see how that's going to be stifled upon his shocking and untimely death.
