But an examination of his life is riddled with questions of all that might have been; all that should have been. It is more than likely that this was a severely mentally ill human being who never sought the treatment he so desperately needed; surrounded by fawning sycophants who enabled his sickness by constantly reassuring him that he could do no wrong. As John Lennon once said in the same context about Elvis Presley, another victim of the excesses of fame: "It's always the courtiers that kill the king". The sad, inescapable truth is that for reasons we will probably never be able to fully understand, his talent and his career were ultimately wasted. Like Charlie Parker, Montgomery Clift, Judy Garland and Lenny Bruce before him, his brilliance as an artist would be overshadowed by severe, psychological torment and an unexplainable desire for self-destruction. Therein lies the real, unspeakable tragedy of Michael Jackson. http://www.tomdegan.blogspot.com Tom Degan Goshen, NY We have to give the man his due: Michael Jackson was – beyond a shadow of a doubt – a great artist whose recorded legacy will endure for decades, maybe even a century or more.

]]> Comment on Treasury To Save Mortgage Giants by Dorris Fortson http://globetao.com/treasury-to-save-mortgage-giants/comment-page-1/#comment-6 Dorris Fortson Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:58:45 +0000 http://globetao.com/?p=125#comment-6 Dear Henry Poulson, I have an idea to stablize the stock market. Since much of the problem is people selling out in a panic to save a little of their retirement. Why don't you give cash incentives to people who will not sell out for a specific time period? There are many of us who stuck it out the last time the market fell and this time, I am 65 now, it is very hard to not panic with the rest of them and sell out. A large cash incentive to stay in would help. Also for us smart investors, we would more than likely then put the cash back into the market by buying some of those great deals that are on fabulous sales right now! That seems a better way to stabalize the market than giving it to the CEO's. Who knows what they will do with it. Why not give it to the people who actually lost the money not the CE"O's.
