Teacher's teacher

Many things surfaced since Michael Jackson's death. Economists say Michael's worth is much more after his death than when he was alive. Teacher's teacher cannot help but comment: does it matter? Those who love Michael want him alive not dead. We saw the film: This is it and truly you would never ever have an inkling he needed Propofol to feel well. And now, the person who did his bidding, his doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray faces charges of involuntary manslaughter.

Speaking from the point of view of a fan, it is really painful to learn many years later that Michael suffered burns while taping a softdrink commercial. How we wish the tape was shown to the fans so that the "quirks" Michael showed were better understood. It is now "water under the bridge" so let us allow Michael to rest in peace.

As regards the doctor, he could take care of himself. His defense would rely mostly on the intention he had because in the court of law one's motive could make or unmake one's case.

What is left is for the family to move on. The children's welfare should be uppermost in their minds. For us fans, sometimes, the memory of excellence we saw in the stars we looked up to inspire us to do our best while time is all we have.
