It is frightening watching a large segment of the population collectively going insane, live on national television (and the internet).
It is not polite to speak ill of the dead. Fine. But it is insane to ignore the ill of the dead. And it is more insane to ignore more important events of the day. Today, the celebrities join in the insanity because, though they didn't regard Jackson as much when he was alive, they don't want the bad publicity that might come along with NOT being in attendance. Sycophants and fanatics in the same place. Mass psychosis capturing all of them in its thrall. If we, as a society, had our wits about us, there would be a fleet of ambulances waiting outside the Staples Center to shuttle those in attendance to padded cells, as they are clearly a danger to themselves and others. Michael Jackson meant nothing to you three weeks ago. Going to extremes to prove that he means something to you today is insane. Wasting more than five seconds grieving for someone you never met is insane. Taking a pilgrimage to Neverland after Jackson's death, when he never would have let you through the gate when was alive, is insane. -- Kevin M.
