I take no joy or pleasure in Michael Jackson's death, just as I took no joy and pleasure in Saddam Hussein's death. It has nothing to do with taking joy in person's death regardless of who they were when they were alive. And certainly I'm not about to disparage Michael Jackson because the media portrayed him as a "freak". And admittedly he didn't do much to fight against thier view of him. That said a man is dead, so are millions of others whom we've never seen or heard from. Hopefully thier life served a purpose to the ones who felt connected to them.
